Amazon is a multiproduct seller, not just a seller of 10 products.
As I said before, Amazon does NOT cater to the eBook COLLECTOR who primarily uses Calibre and Apprentice Alf. Frankly, I doubt if more than 2% of Amazon sales are to people who use those products.
Plus, I rarely ever look at eBooks I've read in the past. I have never collected books or eBooks. I just discard them when done. Amazon keeps them for me so I leave them there but it is really not a necessity for me.
Again, I have a hunch most Amazon purchasers are like me. They are NOT eBook Collectors. They just buy a book to read and then discard.
If you want improvements in eBook collection software, contact Calibre for improvements and use Microsoft Windows 8.1 tablets with Office 2013.

You are of course correct that most Amazon customers aren't as heavy readers as some people here. Amazon - and its founder/CEO Jeff Bezos - have, though, aligned the Kindle as a reading enthusiasts device and features like the Collections are clearly designed to be used by those with more than just throw-away books.
These people are not asking for anything more than the return of a feature that Kindle used to have two days ago. For whatever reason, PW2 now shows Cloud books in "Device" mode, if those books are inside a collection. That alone looks like a bug, it makes no sense why it would do that.
