I ask because Collections seem to have some sort of Cloud syncing component, which suggests books need to be Amazon-purchased or Send-to-Kindle to work???

Also, I have Kindle Voyage with latest firmware, so all the hacking and jail-break options are not available to me.

Thanks!
Yes you can add books sideloaded via USB to collections. All that will happen is that the book will not appear in the collection if you view it on another device, say one of the kindle apps.

I have whole collections of side loaded books on my Voyage and when viewed on my iPhone app the collections are simply empty. The folder is there but it has no books.

If you have a collection of part Amazon and part sideloaded books then only the Amazon books will show in the collection on another device.
