Occasional visitor to Mobileread here. So Amazon is running a deal for the KPW2 for $99 today and I'm really close to upgrading from my K4. However I have just a couple of concerns and I'd love to hear KPW2 users experiences about a few things. I am sure there are threads about these things so feel free to link me to anything you think might be informative.

1. What's the deal with collections? I hear the recent update is causing some issues. I often shut off wifi to save battery and I do like to have collections on my kindle so I'm concerned that this could be a deal breaker. Is it as bad as people say it is?

2. I do sometimes side load books because I strongly believe in DRM free products. Are people still having issues with being unable to delete side loaded books?

3. Is there still green and red colors in the lighting? That caused me to return the KPW1 and stick with the K4.

Also for points 1 & 2 - are there known solutions if both of these issues still exist?
