Yes and it took a minute to work out the kinks, but meme who created the plug-in is like Kovid, on the boards all the time and more than willing to answer any questions. PLus, you have me, I figure I owe you one for helping with the syncing.

Check it out under the Plug-ins section under the Calibre thread. The Calibre crew has made it even easier by imbedding the plug-ins installer as part of Calibre. It will even tell you when there is a plug-in with an update. To me, the hardest part was customizing the plug-in the get the Collections to show exactly how I wanted but on the first page of the Post - there are lots of suggestions along with instructions. Below are the results of using the plug-in.

Here's a screen shot of one of my pages and screen shot of inside one of my Collections.

Ditto except for biting in the ass!

Thanks for the update, I'll avoid updating for now!! I don't buy Kindle books much, but I did just buy a Kindle book 2 weeks ago for my class (couldn't find in epub). I needed to strip/convert to read on my Nook.

Yes, I do it right away. It's like a mail in rebate. The first thing you do is prepare the mail in rebate and put it in the envelope - before you get to play with your purchase! Otherwise you might wait until it's too late.
