Overall I've run into problems when I deregistered my paperwhite from my account.. Since this is the only Amazon device I have that supports CC, this is the key device that my collections were linked to. The only other device I had that supported them were my android cell, and that one never fully synced with them because it kept crashing. So when I deregistered the pw, I lost all of my big collections, which means now I have to manually rebuild them again.
This would not be a problem if any of my other devices supported them, or if I had another Amazon device associated with my account. Since it is Amazon's devices that drives the collections, per a CS rep who tried to help me recover my collections. Amazon didn't take into account what happens when you only have one Amazon device on your account and you deregister it.
Other than that, this latest firmware fixes the issues of the previous firmware upgrade. But this problem has caused me such issues I've thought about buying another device just so I could have a second one that would control my collections. But I decided I am not giving Amazon any more of my money. Because of the immersive reading I will keep my current Fire but when I upgrade, I am going back to Samsung tablets. I am still debating if I will ever buy another Amazon eink device. Don't get me wrong, I love my device as far as reading goes, but organizing on it is becoming too tedious.
