Collection Management is now on the PW 2013

I'm assuming the same is true for the HDX. Also every book ever assigned to those collections appears on the PW2. If the book is only in the cloud then it is greyed, but it still is displayed and causes clutter. There is no frigging way to turn off the display of Cloud books that are not on your PW2. Yuk. It took me a while to clean up 5.4.2's mess.
You were complaining earlier that Amazon did not give you any mechanism to manage all your Cloud Collections.

The latest PW 2013 upgrade now gives you the ability to manage ALL your Cloud Collections by deleting and adding as you wish. However, they will only be applied to the PW 2013 and the HDX 2013. Its too bad it won't automatically upgrade all the other devices and apps. Maybe they will also get upgrades to fit the new pattern.
