I remember reading a while back somebody talking about leaving the collections folders alone instead of recreating each time, so the date was preserved. While reading it, it didn't make a lot of sense, but with my recent CONSTANT recreating of Kindle Collections, I understand why that would be desireable. I collect my books in collections by series, and view on my Kindle by collections. I am a fast reader and tend to get into MANY books at the same time. Because I read quickly, adding books to a "currently reading" collection makes no sense to me. But I do use the position of the collections on the Kindle to remind me which series I had started (and maybe abandoned). I've been manually opening the collections to recreate the order, but after EVERY update, that gets very tedious.

Is there any way for your plugin to adjust the books IN the collection without changing the actual collection information on the Kindle? (Or any other way to keep the collections in the "most recently read" order after updating collections?) I don't mind new collections going pretty much anywhere, I just want the ones that persist to keep their order.

(P.S. Still working on that other issue, had to wait for my brain to go on-line this morning after FINALLY getting real sleep last night.)
