Beta .4
Several of my books on the collection side are duplicated. Some have two entries some have over twenty. Only the display is affected. Saving the collection to the Kindle and restarting does not actually produce duplicates. Toggling all the options has no impact--the dups still appear. It's still fulling functional--it's only a display issue. As the Calibre user the books are physically organized by author and then title, so the indicator for items already in a collection planned for .5 will be a huge plus. |

I just downloaded and installed v0.4. I uninstalled the old version first and then installed the new version. When trying to run it I get the message "Kindle Collection Manager has stopped working". It never initializes. I'm going to try rebooting in a few minutes and try again.
Vista 32-bit, Kindle 3G. |

So the answer to your question is yes, you can use more than 1 device with this app. |

maybe this is a great app, but I don't understand why users are required to register to be able to try it.
do you want to sell it after users have finished testing it for you? |

I'm still waiting on my Kindle 3. Should have it by next week. Would there be any value to installing Collection Manager (I have win7 pro) now? I have purchased quite a few books (mostly free, some not).
Could I be using CM now to organize my books into collections or do I have to wait for my Kindle? |

As far as I understand, Calibre can already collect tags (which would map to Kindle collections), and it can add/remove books on the Kindle. The part that Calibre doesn't know how to do is how to write out a collections.json. If you could document what you've learned about the format of that file and/or create a Calibre plugin just for writing it out based on Calibre's collection, that would be a huge boon to Calibre users.

Actually, the calibre developer has posted about this before and (as I recall) decided not to do it because you have to cold-restart the kindle to recognize the updated collections.json file. Not sure why he made that decision, exactly.
As to the author's distribution mechanism, it is a little weird, but it's his program and he can do with it as he sees fit. Shrug. |

Sorry, you will need to wait. It won't do anything without a kindle plugged in.
