I manage my e-book collection in calibre, but I read using a variety of Kindle apps and devices, keeping them in sync using Amazon's cloud. It may be possible to reverse engineer the web page and add management of cloud collections in calibre via a plugin. That would be useful to me.
Ah, so - -
Very likely related to the disappearing and/or failing jb bridge code.
Since that requires changes in /var/local (persistent user data).

The author / maintainer of the Calibre collection plug-in is gone.
He was also the one and only forum moderator we had.

LibrarianSync could probably be modified to support cloud collections once the changes to the database files on the Kindle are determined (it currently has cloud collection handling disabled).

No need to reverse engineer anything.
The things in /var/local belong to the Kindle owner and it is a violation of US law for anyone but the owner to mess with them.
(Keep in mind, Amazon thinks they still own the Kindle in your hands.)
