i agree with all the " amazon wants you to use the cloud" conclusions.

I am surprised this issue has not cropped up in the various " which one shoull I buy " discussions, cos if you play by amazon's DRM rules, the only way to load purchased books to any kindle device is from their cloud, with the DRM lock for that specific device intact, and thus only one book at a time.
Ought to be a showstopper for the i need all my books on my new device at all times crowd, unless they did the smart thing over time & built a DRM free calibre set whcih can be bulk sideloaded

I sympathize & share the view on the uselessness of amazons manage my content pages. I have 20+ screens worth of mostly junk free app of the day apps, and there's no way to search or sort by genre, so hunting for some mid-alphabet paid-for one takes ages. There is an option to archive apps so that they don't show up a a devices' cloud list, but I don't know if kindle books have that archive tag feature
