No video yet, but these are the steps for a Colorsoft:
1. Calibre must be 7.25 or newer (Help -> About). Older versions can't read the Kindle's reading files over MTP.
2. Unlock the Kindle and connect it with the USB cable. Wait until Calibre shows it as a device (a Device button appears on the toolbar and there is an "On device" column). The plugin reads through Calibre's own connection, so Calibre has to see the Kindle first.
3. Kindle Reading button -> Configure: Data source = auto, leave "USB documents folder" empty. Tick the fields you want, click "Create missing columns", then restart Calibre.
4. Connect the Kindle again, wait for Calibre to see it, then Kindle Reading -> Import reading stats (all books).
Only books you have opened on the Kindle have reading data, and books must be in your Calibre library to be matched.
Version 1.4.2 (now in the first post) also fixes an MTP import crash on some newer Kindles, so please update.
If it still imports nothing, tell me:
- your Calibre version,
- the message the plugin shows after Import,
- whether Calibre shows the Kindle as a device.
Even better: start Calibre with calibre-debug -g from a command prompt, run the import, and post the output.
