Nevertheless, my personal docs/books do show up in my collections even though they don't look as pretty without their covers. I don't think Amazon is being nefarious, just like their ereaders don't have encryption and their tabs do, it is covering different use cases.
BTW if it troubles you I would contact Amazon and complain. They actually do listen to their customers. Years ago I requested that they add night mode to their reading background choices, and we have that. I also suggested years ago that Amazon put out their own video streaming device. Man they should be paying me for these ideas :-)
I have written to Amazon about what I generally see as really bad software decisions. The silly thing about the personal doc covers is that they display on the Carousal and in Collection view within the Docs tab, just not in list view. So it not like the Fire can't see the covers
