I am looking at other alternatives. You will see this for any item, book or whatever that you add to your Kindle that is not an Amazon recognized item.
If you sideload books, i.e via USB or calibre there is a quick way to add to a collection. I loaded 135 Christmas stories yesterday to my new PW2 (yes i'm sad) and I didn't want to email them all to Amazon so I loaded via Calibre.

I then created the collection and selected Add/Remove.
I sorted the list of books to select from by Recent.
I then selected Add all on this page from the menu button. This loads 10 books in one go (the whole page) with only 1 pop up message saying I am adding books that won't sync with the cloud.
I then swiped to the next page.
On the page with more books that I wanted in the collection I added them all then unticked the ones I didn't want.

This way I had 13 pop up messages instead of 135!
