Even going into Preferences, Toolbar there isn't an icon for Kindle Collections. I've drove myself mad trying to figure this out, reading previous posts etc, but am now losing the will to live..... Please help....
Actually, skip posting the gui.json.

I just re-installed on a clean system and got the same results - because of 2 issues.

When you install the plugin and it pops up a dialogue asking you where you want the icon to go - you must select a location. It might appear that the 'Main Menu when device is connected' is selected, but its not - you must click on it (or on another entry).

When you look in Preferences->Toolbar for the Kindle Collections icon, you MUST change the dropdown selection from 'Main Menu when device is not connected' (click on the text) to 'Main Menu when device is connected' - or the icon will not be visible since it can only be used when a device is connected.

I'll try to highlight this in the install notes as it seems to happen to people occasionally...
