I've run several searches for 'system' or 'collection*" or even "*.json", and no results are returned. Any suggestion on how to find and copy my collection data before I try this plugin?

Thanks!
If you have collections on your Kindle you do not need to create a 'dummy' collection.

See this post: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...&postcount=172 for a great tip from CWatkinsNash on how to see the 'system' folder, complete with pictures. I think I'll add this to my notes

Connect your Kindle. Go to Start -> My Computer. You should see an entry for your Kindle (like E. Open/click/double click on that drive/location. You may see documents/music/audible directories but you want the one called 'system'. If you don't see it, click the address box at the top of the window to edit it and change it, for example, from "E:" or "Computer -> Kindle (E", to E:\system, then hit Return
