I found it very useful to restrict my model to one collection per book. So, my latest purchase sits in "new books", when I start it it will migrate to "bedside table", and when I've finished it "Fiction - A to H". I plan to essentially maintain the collections on the Kindle, repopulating my custom field in Calibre from time to time, and using Calibre for big updates, like a spree in the sales.
I can see there are 1,000,001 ways of exploiting all these features, but that's the one for me

Great to read its working well for you. This seems to be a popular way of doing things. Its not how it was originally set up to be used but its a great easy way of dealing with things. I've been wondering how I might update the first post to highlight this approach a bit more for people who already have collections on their Kindle. As you said - there are a lot of ways the plugin can be used - and any one way that works for you is the best way
