Second, I have two questions: 1. Using the "Foo" example, is there anyway to set it up so that if the book is in a series collection AND in an Author collection, one can be ignored?
I have the plug in set to create a collection for any series with 3 or more books and any author with 3 or more books - more often then not that creates two collections with the exact same books. Is there away around that without having an incredibly long ignore list?

Sounds like you might be moving into custom column territory, but the book count issue could be tricky - I'll have a look to see what can be done
EDIT: A custom column can be setup to create an entry for a Series if there is one and if not use the Author. But then if you limit to 3 books in the plugin, it may be that if you have only 2 books in a series your custom column will show the series name but the plugin will skip it because it has too few books - and the book won't be put into a collection for the author either. I don't see any obvious way in the custom column template language to count the number of books for a series (but I only just looked) which is what is needed. Otherwise the plugin would have to be updated to support some kind of template language to allow comparisons which is probably a bit much. I'll look again at template language - it may be quite simple or even require another plugin

2. Reading list - To make sure I understand, we no longer have to run the Kindle Collection plugin if our books were already on the reading list prior to connecting the Kindle?

Exactly. Justfire up calibre, add some books to your Reading List, then connect your Kindle - Reading List will send them to your Kindle and then tell Kindle Collections to run Create Collections for you automatically. (This assumes you have enabled that option in Reading List - once you add your device, and set the option to automatically send to device, on the column on the far right of the device entry is a Y/N checkbox for Kindle Collections).
