If hubby wants to read War and I want to read Romance why should we both see each other's collections and books. It clutters up our personal Kindles and ignores the Cloud/Device marker that previously worked for books.
Amazon allows multiple Kindles to be attached to a single account so why release an update that works against that.
That is the issue, not side loading.

Complaining about Amazon won't solve the problem. You have three choices:
1. Set up 2 Amazon accounts with different collections.
2. Design your Collection into two parts: Hubby , Wifey.
3. Investigate whether Kobo, Nexus, Sony or Apple have better Collection firmware.
Using workarounds beats feeling bad about a situation every time.
My Collections looks like this:
01-Husband
02-Wife
03-History
04-Biography
05-Bible Study
06-Fiction
07-Active Content
08-Documents
09-Guides
We keep eBooks in two places: 1 - either Husband or Wife; AND Collections 03 through 09.
We only keep eBooks we are actually reading currently in Husband or Wife. We delete them from that Collection when done.
Maybe that would work for you.
