I've owned a Kindle for 3 1/2 years. I have a K2, a KB and now a PW. I'm not a newbie and I have seen the EXACT same behavior with my PW that crescere describes. In fact, I'm now on my second PW (the first returned for pink and blue clouds). Both behaved the same way. When I first got PW#2 I sideloaded all my books to it from my hard drive and created a couple of collections to which I added some books. At first I was happy because the home page (sorting by collections) showed all the rest of the books not yet added to collections. Wireless was off during this period. Then I turned on the wireless and downloaded my old collections from the Cloud. After a few minutes the books were all in their proper collections, but they were also still showing under the collections as well (including some books that had not yet been added to collections). After a restart, NO books are showing under the collections on the home page (still sorting by collections). The "uncollected books" cannot be seen unless you do a search or sort by "recent" or "author". Sorting by "title" does not work at all from the home page when sorting by "collections". It returns "0" items. All of these behaviors occurred on both my PW's AFTER turning on the wireless for a period of time. So, yeah. Something is amiss and it's beginning to sound like a software "update" from Amazon.
