Sirmaru, Are you sure about that? I saw a screen shot from someone on Kindleboards showing collections that she didn't have on her device, and "On Device" was definitely chosen, not "Cloud"

All eBooks in the Cloud are shown in the Cloud. The Device only shows eBooks downloaded to the Device. The Cloud shows eBooks inside the Collections as well as showing them a second time outside the Collections.
If you have eBooks on the Device you do not want, just delete them.
On the HDX 2013 you can see Collections if you go to that Menu function in the Book area. They do not show on the Home Page unless you copy them there.
The whole idea is to give the user a place to manage the Collections on either of those 2 devices. Making changes on one syncs to the other.
I don't see what the problem is for all the complainers here other than huge misunderstandings from reading posts here and never really trying to access this feature on their own mostly because many, if not most of the posters here, do not own a PW 2013 or an HDX 2013.
By the way, Collections can be in any order you want by just preceding the Collection name by a NUMBER.
Finally, those, who own a Kindle Fire HDX 2013, can call Mayday right on that unit and get advice based on the best information available for both units. Response is IMMEDIATE and all the advisors appear to be AMERICAN.
