I have 60 books in my "Want to Read" shelf on Goodreads. I have split my eBooks into 8 Collections and one more for Active Content *(own 2). I have set up no Collections for my Apps since I only own 32.
Plus, I have a tolerant view of bugs and problems and usually work around them in software and hardware. Others get floored by the same problems and usually uninstall or return those items.
If you are a Collector owning thousands of eBook, Kindles are not for you. Investigate some other device or confine your collections to a PC with the proper software.
I have a hunch that the vast majority of eBook purchasers from Amazon are readers like me and do not own thousands of eBooks. Thus, all the Kindle models have suited me just fine. I only exchanged ed my first Kindle because it kept shorting out.

Once again this is an assumption on your part. I am a
reader, and have been for over 30 years. And while I am also a collector, this year alone I have already read 217 books, and that is not including the novellas and essays, or the books I have re-read which I do not have on my Goodreads account. Sorry, but 93 books in your collection in my opinion makes you a casual reader. And stripping drm and all that other stuff has ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with the problems with all these collections. If you perused the various forums and boards you would in fact see that most readers are not like you, and those of us who have taken advantage of the collections feature is now plagued by all these problems. Perhaps since this issue does not directly affect you, you should keep you inexperienced opinion to yourself and let those of us who are affected by it discuss to come up with a solution to the problem???
