To me it is better to have everything listed there. As opposed to how it is on Kindle where you have no idea what collection(s) your Cloud items are in.

If it is on the device it will have a check mark.

For example suppose I have a collection for a book series. I may not want all of the books on the device at the same time but I would want to view the entire list and be able to select the next book. On Kindle this is not possible: you only see the on-device items. And for this use case you can manually drag the collection items into the proper order.

The manual sorting would also be useful for maintaining a Want To Read list. Again why have all this content on the device until you are ready to read? But how useful to have the list handy?

There are some rough edges here (as noted in my earlier post) but I like it much better than how it works on Kindle.
