I'll be grateful for any help.

Hello John. Your Kindle ebooks already on the DX are added to a Collection by selecting the Collection, then press Menu, then Add/Remove Books (a new collection may just say Add Books). You get a view of all your ebooks on the DX. you just scroll down thru the ebooks and click on any you wish to add to the collection. When you have finished selecting go to the bottom of the page and select Done. This returns you to the Collection itself and from there you hit Home to be back at the Home page. Those books are now part of the Collection.

With new ebooks added you do the same thing by entering the collection then add that ebook the same way.

Note that a book which is in a collection is no longer on the home page but will show up when you go into any collection to add ebooks because a book can be in multiple collections.

John, hope this helps and Amazon does answer this fully in the new KDX Users Manual found Amazon Kindle Support page.
