Why didn't you use "Download all"?

I now have 4500+ books on my Android device and successfully moved to my new inkBOOK. However, none of my categories (in a column in my library called "Kindle Collections") made it over. A reader with 4500 books and no categories is effectively useless.
See FAQ How can I see my custom "columns made from other columns" in the Cloud Connection's top-level list? and How do I add my custom columns to the Grouping drawer?

The instructions scattered over FAQs and forum entries says I have to start the wireless connection in Calibre using "wireless connection menu shown above." (quote from the FAQ). My Calibre, version 3.12 *DOES NOT HAVE ANYTHING RESEMBLING THIS MENU*. I can start, stop, and configure the content server via "Preferences/Change Calibre Behavior/Sharing/Sharing over the Net", but there's *absolutely nothing* relating to "wireless connections".
calibre 3.12 most certainly does have "something relating to wireless connections", as this image shows.

If you don't see that line in the Connect/Share menu then you either are running some bizarro distro version of calibre, you have removed the Connect/Share button, or you have disabled the wireless device plugin (calibre Preferences / Plugins / Device interface plugins / SmartDevice).
