Hello, I am a bit of a Python noob and I am experimenting with the sample plugin code and I am trying to figure out how to do the following:

I modified one of the demo buttons to say "checkout books", and when I click this button, I created a list of hard-coded book paths with another list of book titles to match.

What I want to happen is that they are sent to my attached kindle device using upload_book function, but the function isn't recognized inside the plugin file and so it doesn't even call upload_books

Does someone have an example of the simplest way to transfer books to the attached ereader device (in my case, an old 2nd gen Kindle)?

Thank you
