I set it up only to use custom columns to avoid accidentally erasing tags. I could change it, but at the moment I really want to avoid causing problems for new users. At least with a custom column I know the user had to set it up so will be a bit more aware of what will change.

If you want to use Tags for the collection names, you can just select Tags in Customization. If you are 'moving around books on your Kindle' then I can see this is an issue, but the plugin wasn't really designed for that - it was meant that you would modify your tags in Calibre.

You can switch to using your custom column instead of Tags, and just hide the Tags column. Note that Tags can sometimes get updated when downloading metadata, so you can end up with a lot of unexpected collections.

[oh, other misc thoughts as I tried this plugin for the first time
- Why doesn't it add the icon to my toolbar when I first installed it? If someone doesn't like the default location, then they can customize the toolbar after.

This is Calibre - its setup to prompt you to choose where to put the icon when the plugin is first installed. Many people don't put icons on their toolbar, and you can always add it after.

- Why does it give me an error that there is no custom column? Just add one for me, and if I don't like it I can customize it (actually I'd prefer it use tags, and possibly to have the 'add custom column' as the last option in the drop down list of pick column to import it into)

What type of custom column should be added? (Once set I don't think you can change the type). What name should be used? I wanted to avoid modifying calibre's setup too much, and if you are going to customize the default then setting one up isn't much more effort.

- More of a Calibre thing... but it would be nice if Calibre offered to restart itself after adding a column.]

Thanks for the great plugin - I really simplifies things.

You're welcome.
