I only have two devices capable of doing folders - Fire Phone and HD6. So maybe folders are crossing over. I remember doing a factory reset on my HD6 after setting up my folders. So between these options, that would account for 3 sets of folders. If that's the case, it's stupid. Just like calling folders, collections is stupid. Sometimes, Amazon does stupid things.
So far, I haven't found a way to delete the duplicate folders.
Not sure why the Reading folder isn't showing up.
Try this - create new folders. Disregard all previous folders. Amazon will allow you to put the same app in multiple folders. Then when you want to add apps from the carousel to a folder, send them to favorites. From there, you can push them into the appropriate folder. That's what I do. I found it easier to do it that way. But now, with these multiple folders I have, it's the only sane way to do it.

Thanks for testing this out. So its not just me and makes me feel a little less dumb.
The HD6 is my only device that is new enough to have those functions. I have the 2012 HD which doesn't have that and I have the 2011 original fire. So all the "extra" folders come from just the HD6.
I'll just keep as is not, I have the 3 folders on home I want and I can push things into it from the favorites. Well eventually I can, after chasing them around like a darn rabbit.
It still bug me I have these other folders somewhere, but have no access to them. I even tried to add something new to the invisible folders and they still don't show up on favorite list.
Just to be clear though, how does one create new folders. I don't see that option anywhere either. The only way it lets me if I push stuff on top of each other, then click the folder and delete the name it gave it as default, app 4 etc. Then I change that name. I can't see anywhere on the home page a way to just create folders and then push something in them.
