So it isn't readily easy to see what is loaded on the device unless you look for the not so noticeable checkmark. Collections are still in need of a major overhall IMO.

According to the update description:

From the library view, customers can now see which collections a book already belongs to and can add or remove from multiple collections using multi edit.

So it sounds as if it's an improvement in managing which collections a book is in, rather than which books are in a given collection. Useful, but I agree with you that collection management still needs work.
EDIT: I see now what they've done. If you tap and hold the check mark at the right side of the library page alongside a book, you get a popup, one of whose items is "Add to Collection". That takes you to a page allowing you to easily add and remove the book from multiple collections. That's the new feature - it's something that the eInk Kindles have had for a long time.
