I had a version a bit before 1.5.6 (it had two icons). So, although when I checked the version, it said 1.5.7 was running, it was actually mostly running the older version (no icon for 1.5.7, for example), but with errors (and none of the newer features.

I removed the older version manually (under plugins), then removed the second icon on the toolbar (which wasn't automatically removed), restarted Calibre and then 1.5.7's icon started showing up.

Is there a way to get into preferences (if not, there should be), without the Kindle plugged in? I was wanting to check the version and update preferences before plugging in my Kindle, but don't see a method to do that.

Also, I don't yet have all my books from the Kindle in Calibre. Right now, I have two collections, one managed by Kindle and the other by Calibre. I want to combine them into a single collection. Since I can't see the books that are Kindle only to do anything to them, I was going to try this:
  1. On the Kindle, move the books that are in the Calibre maintained collection to the Kindle collection.
  2. Delete the Calibre collection
  3. Rename the Kindle maintained collection (same as old Calibre name)
  4. Import Collections into Calibre.

My question is: if I do this, when I update collections from Calibre, will it leave the (over a hundred) books that are Kindle only in that collection, or just create a collection of a handful of books that are in Calibre?
