I've noticed one can click on Cloud Library and then on each device and all books on only that device show. Thus, one can take some actions on specific devices.

That's good for me since my wife uses 2 devices, I use 2 devices plus my PC and now I can customize what books are on each device. When one clicks on a device, it shows a check mark on each book on that device and a download arrow to place the book on the device. There is a warning that any other actions must be done when clicking on Cloud Library.

I noticed in the Cloud Library each book can have a label on it, "Update Available." My "One Year Bible" has that tag.

If one selects one or more books, the following options appear for all selected: Deliver to my.......(select device), Delete from library, More actions (clear furthest page read, read now, download and transfer via USB), Deselect all. This would be a good place to select a Collection label but its not there yet.

The only problem I see is that one must use the Back Button to get out of MYK page. There is no menu exit.

If this new design was for the US site, why can't others in the US see it as noted earlier in this thread?

I just noticed that there as a new hot point labelled "Settings" on the MYK page. From there one can change all of the following:

1. Country settings - you can change to any country you want. This is BRAND NEW. Will this one change what Amazon site one actually accesses? Will it be possible for non-US residents to choose the US site?
2. Whisper Sync settings.
3. Automatic book update
4. Language Optimized storefront (I wonder how many and which languages will be offered.)
5. Personal Document settings
6. Manage Whispercast membership (I have no idea what that is.)
7. Your Amazon local vouchers

This is all new to me especially the Country settings. I may postpone doing anything with these settings until others here try them first.

The only feature apparently not available is some sort of Collection Manager. If this is a beta site, then maybe the gold site will have that as well.
