I've ordered my new kindle, and I can't wait to get it. But a niggly worry has crept in...

Currently I have a kindle keyboard (i.e. no cloud collections). I blithely assumed that there wouldn't be a problem getting those same collections on my new kindle, that they would just transfer automatically. Then I did some reading, and thought, okay, I'll have to import them instead of it happening automatically, but that's okay.

But I wanted to get a headstart on setting my cloud collections, so I installed Kindle for PC. That has the import collections button, but... no devices show up to import from.

Please tell me I won't have to set up all my collections from scratch... that will be enough to make my cancel my order

I have 21 collections containing probably well over 1000 books!
