Also we now have no way of knowing how many items are in our archives. Other than that I have no complaints so far.

I have one tiny complaint, ok two...

1. There is a separate section for loans, and one for rentals, why isn't there one for Amazon purchased books?
2. When you select individual devices, I would have liked it if the books which were on the device were listed first. Or at least give us a sort option to select that.

And for reason all my personal docs are greyed out, I cannot take any action on them.

Now a question, is there a way to do an action on multiple books in cover grid mode??

EDIT: I also wouldn't mind if they added a "select all" button.

Nope in FF, Chrome, and even in the dreaded IE, with all your tips too.

Hasn't made it to my neck o' the woods yet.

PDocs are working for me and they are deleting correctly. *phew*

Yeah you just click on the book to select it. You can select up to 25.

Unless I'm missing something, it appears that "Books" is just Amazon purchases. I don't see my borrowed books or dictionaries in that filter.

Interestingly, the new view showed up on my HD+ yesterday evening running Firefox, but is still showing the same-old today on my laptop running Firefox. And of course both using the same accounts.

I do, and I have a lot of them, so it would be nice i they too had a section.

I had to make my screen smaller. Now I can see that choice as well as other Amazon menus at the top of the screen.

It seems you can no longer delete anything now.

Same here. Deleted loans and no they were back. Am hoping it is just a glitch. I spent 1/2 hour deleting only to find them back!

Though I think it is an improvement, I don't see where we can tell how many books we have on there now, and it does take forever to get to the end of the page if you have 1000s of books. And the thumbnails don't get smaller. Still like much of it.

It is going to take me a bit to remember to be in the Cloud Library when trying to take actions. This is again like the collections, it would be nice if the ones that are not eligible for that device when you have the device selected, if they were listed at the bottom instead of intermingled into the list.

An example of a problem of this. The book shows the loan information of when it was loaned out on the Cloud view, but in the device view you get no information. Why can't you see it is not available because it is loaned in device view?? And yes I am gonna miss that count of books.

There are 168 posts about the new MYK here at Amazon Forums:

http://www.amazon.com/forum/kindle/r...Tx2PK1HOAG5CQ4

It appears one's browser may affect whether one can see the new page or not. I am using Internet Explorer 11 and can see the new page. If you can't see it, maybe post your browser and version.

Its too bad they don't allow Collection Management at that page.

Here are some comments from the Amazon Forum linked above:

1. "It doesn't work well at all on IE 8. Covers are as tall as the screen, some buttons can't be seen."

2. "Not showing up in Firefox."

One must hold the Control key and use the mouse wheel to shrink that page. Then all Amazon menus are visible at the top. When I first access that page, none of the menus are visible.

Ok. Panning to the end of the page through all the books is overheating my laptop. Umm. It is unusually warm today, but still. And I can't get it to go farther than "Kent" in author sort. I have successfully deleted multiple books at one go, which is great. After deleting, you are right back to the beginning like it used to do, so this multi deleting is very nice. But why I can't go any farther than the Ks is beyond me.

There are also a couple of oddities. One loan book is in books, but not in loans and two Amazon guides are in books, but not the 35 of them I seem to have in guides and dicts. for which I am thankful. Seems to still have some bugs.

Title sort got to the "Ma-" and it stops. Going to go check out the Amazon forums. Btw it does this in cover and list view.

In terms of browser I am using Safari if that helps anyone.

I noticed this too, for me I had previously deleted all but one paperwhite user guide and one dictionary. I assumed this was why only these two show up in my books section.

I guess I don't understand? The "Books" filter appears to only show Amazon purchases. Was that not what you were looking for? Or yours shows something different?
