On the PW 2013 in the Cloud my collections appear with eBooks in them and the same eBooks are shown again below the collections. On the Device only my collections show with the eBooks in them.

On the HDX 2013 I can display collections with eBooks in them. I can also display under Books my Cloud books and then my Device books.

Collections appear to sync between the PW 2013 and the HDX 2013. They do not affect my PW 2012, HD 2012 or K4PC.

I had extra collections appear in my HDX and deleted all of them. They did not appear in the PW 2013.

On the HDX 2013 within the Home page it appears one can move an app on top of another app and start an unnamed App collection. Once one does that there is no way to get apps out of that collection. One must delete it WITH the apps. Then one must go to the App page and add it back to the Home page. One can move eBook Collections to the Home page. For me that would be clutter since I only read 2 eBooks at a time.

Amazingly for me, when I access Goodreads from the PC, PW 2013 and HDX 2013 all my eBooks I had read as MS eBooks and Sony eBooks appear as Read books. I've forgotten most of them and must have entered them on Goodreads years ago. I really don't see any use for me to use Goodreads other than as a history of all the books I have ever read.

Overall, this upgrade on the PW 2013 really does not help me. On the HDX 2013 I get voice dictation for notes and that will help me a lot. My Collections were manually made the same on all devices and apps a month ago including on K4PC.

My Collections are as follows on all my devices and apps:

01-Husband
02-Wife
03-History
04-Biography
05-Bible Study
06-Fiction
07-Active Content
08-Documents
09-Guides
