A cross platform Kindle collection manager

This Kindle collection manager has been created because of the general lack of a good, simple, cross-platform application of its type. Alternatives do exist, but all have distinct limitations:

• Calibre with plugin
  • Must install Calibre, which is a heavyweight solution. Some people want this anyway, but not all.
  • Not a very intuitive UI.
• Amazon Kindle app
  • No Linux version, not cross-platform
  • Does not work with books not downloaded from Amazon
• Python script located at http://kcollect.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/kcollect
  • Very unintuitive, practically worthless for non-programmers
  • No simple way to use without additional scripts or lots of tedious typing

This Kindle collection manager should:

• Be cross-platform (Windows/Linux/Mac at least)
• Have a reasonably intuitive GUI
• Work with all Kindle supported file formats
• Be lightweight

Optional goals are:

• Scriptable
