Absolutely contrary to the "Device" view idea! Fix this, and they'd fix the issue for most people.
Second problem is of course those having multiple Kindles on an account, perhaps with multiple users or multiple uses. If those Kindles have had their own categories, suddenly all those are pushed onto every PW2 5.4.2 on that account - again irrespective of whether or not there are any on-device books or use for that category on that particular Kindle.
As for the notion that people don't have time to read until retirement, I think that's frankly preposterous. I can see why not some wouldn't have the time, there are many living situations in the world, but for most it is just a question of priority. People have different priorities. Some read, others don't. Some read A LOT.
And if you read a lot on your Kindle and use categories, your life just got a little bit harder after this PW2 update - I can see that plain as day, even though it doesn't affect me because I don't really use categories but simply have those books on my Kindle that I'm reading now without any categories.

You can read 1,000 books per year and just throw out the old ones. I have NEVER ever re-read any book but the Bible.
Collectors of eBooks are a unique breed and the vast majority of readers are NOT Collectors.
However, I have been collecting music on wire recorders since 1930, tape after 1960 and mp3 after 1990. I have thousands of songs collected in at least 5 languages. Most folks don't do that either.
By the way, all the eBooks I read range from 600 to 1,000 pages and usually cost about $ 10. Someone, who collected those types of eBooks, would have spent $ 60,000 to collect those eBooks. That is a lot of money for a HOBBY.
I really doubt that Amazon will ever cater to eBook Collectors. Collectors would have a better chance trying to deal with Calibre to expand their software to meet their needs.
