Re: import collections from Kindle into custom columns - this works fine for me with 1.5.3 into an empty column, but I am experiencing the same thing as Nyn: if the column has data in it already, running Import simply clears the column; it does not replace the column data with the Kindle collection data (even if I run Import repeatedly). In order to populate the column with the Kindle collection data I have to restart Calibre and run Import again. (Windows XP, 7.55, K3).
Jangell: The fact that you import into a column doesn't mean the plugin knows you want to use that column to control collections going forward - you still have to set up the plugin. If you do want to use your custom column to control your collections, yes, go in to customize and make sure every entry is blank except the custom column.
Then when you want to add a book to the Kindle, type the collection name into the custom column and send the book to the Kindle. If you want to change the collection for a book already on the Kindle, or if you have a book on the Kindle that wasn't in a collection and you want to add it to one, just change the name that's in the custom column (no need to send anything). Yes, you can create new collections this way.
Once you make any changes to the custom column, remember to disconnect the Kindle and reboot it (menu, settings, menu, restart) so the changes show up on your Kindle!
