I can confirm that Collections Manager should import the collections.json the Kindle Collections plugin generated, so the likely problem is that the collections.json is not being created properly.

Just to double-check, you did make sure to export the collections to your Kindle (via the appropriate plugin option), yes? If so, then the file "[userstore]/system/collections.json" should exist (where [userstore] is the Kindle device as mounted by your computer, and system is considered by the Windows operating system to be a "hidden" folder).

...

It is about Collections Manager and the Kindle Collections plugin, so the best place to post would be in either the Kindle Collections or Collections Manager support threads, ideally whichever one is the cause of the problem... but failing that, you could also post a new thread in the Kindle Developer's Corner (KDC).
(My analysis of the situation is that the actual problem lies on the Kindle Collections end of things, which is why I am the one answering questions, so don't feel bad about not knowing that.)

Unfortunately, theducks, who is an awesome person, is not particularly a Kindle person (by which I mean he primarily frequents the calibre forums, not the Kindle forums). So he accidentally moved this thread to the Amazon Kindle forum, rather than the KDC subforum where you could actually get an answer.
(I have reported the thread to the people who do have moderation capacity in this subforum, so hopefully that should change soon.)

Plus, I am mostly the only KDC regular who really checks the Amazon Kindle top forum, and I'm not actually very regular anymore. Since NiLuJe (currently our one and only moderator, with the power to move the thread again this time to the KDC) is also kind of gone at the moment... and NiLuJe is the Kindle Collections maintainer as well...

Basically, what I am saying is that you weren't being ignored, much though it might seem that way. It's just that our usual helpdesk is in a state of shambles. So, sorry about that.

I hope you haven't given up in the month it took for someone to notice this thread, and that you in turn notice that someone has posted to this thread.
