I don't want to see hubby's books so all his collections are unstarred. I use an iPad mini as well and nothing syncs properly between iOS app and our kindles. I have duplicate collections on the iPad. Empty collections where I actually sideload on the Paperwhite but the collection appears in the Kindle app.

It's all getting messy now and tbh I doubt I'd buy another Kindle unless something substantially changes.
Is is possible to embed the font in Calibre and then use the Send To Kindle program so that you aren't actually sideloading? It might be a solution although you have to fiddle with the conversion.

Luckily I only have one collection. I just use one called 'read' and then everything else on my Kindle is either being currently read or in the queue.

I appreciate it must be very frustrating for those who have lovingly created their many collections with the current situation.

Can't stand that star, personally.
