What I don't like about current collections - is the fact that they are created and maintained on particular Kindle device, not is the cloud, and that if you add a book to a collection, it is still visible in the general list of all books on your device. To copy collection from one device to another you have to copy first all individual books, and only after that copy your collection - not good at all.
In my opinion, collections should be maintained globally in the Kindle store. You create collection once - and it is available on any of your Kindle devices or through your "Kindle for PC". If your book is included in one (or several) of your collections - you don't need it in the globabl list of your "un-collected" books. Creates unnecessary clutter! Apart for "Archived books", you should have an option to open additional list of "All Downloaded books" for this device, that would be quite enough. If you want to copy one of your collections to any particular device - you can choose if you want to download only the list of books in this collection when you do it, or if you want to download the whole caboodle, including all the books. When you try to access one of the books in your collection which is not yet downloaded - you initiate downloading process, same way as you access any of the Archived books.
