Because the plugin does a few different things it can be a bit confusing. There's no need to delete it to add back later. Most if not all the major functions/updates have been done now (until someone pops up with another great suggestion
)
To help when you're ready to try again (by the way thanks for trying and then posting - everyone is more than happy to help around here as you can see
) try this:
First you need to decide if you want to manage your collections directly - like drag and drop on the Kindle, or automatically using the book information in Calibre.
If you want to just edit the collections then just run the plugin's "
Edit Kindle Collections Manually" option. You'll get a simple editor you can use to add/remove books from collections - its not drag and drop but its pretty easy to use. This is a direct replacement for manually editing collections on the Kindle itself.
But if you want to have collections created automatically using the information you stored in Calibre then you can use ["b]Create collections on the Kindle from Calibre[/b]. For this you need to use the "Customize" option first in order to tell the plugin what collections to create. It sounds like you tried this and got some collections. But you must be aware that "Create collections" only works with books that are in Calibre. If you have books that are only on the Kindle you have to manually put them in collections - the "Create" function has a customize option that tells it to leave these Kindle-Only collections alone - or import them into Calibre.
As nynaevelan said, if that still doesn't help, just post exactly what you want to accomplish and what steps you are doing to try to get there, and someone will jump in with a tip that will probably get you going quickly.
