One again it's nothing super dramatic but it's a bug that shouldn't be and was not before, so i was curious if it happened to anyone else's Kindle.
Usually when I've picked out a book to read soon I'll remove it from collections so that it directly shows on the home screen and that I don't forget reading it. I always have hundreds of books on my kindle so that was something useful, but I can live without it.

For example, a couple of weeks ago I had a book that I moved out of the "to be read" collection because I was planning to reading it, but I forgot that I had also added it to the "KU" collection. So when I removed it from the "to be read" collection, I couldn't find it anymore without doing a search.

I agree with Shalym -- I've lost books because I don't know what other collection I left them in. I've never tried removing a book from ALL collections, that I recall. I have a collection for DONE. When I remove the book from CURRENT (which is getting a little full, I'll admit, so it no longer really means exactly "current") I move it to DONE instead.
After a few months, I may remove it from the device, from its place in the DONE collection. But it is still tagged as DONE, and would land there again if I ever re-download it.
Since I've never tried removing something from all collections, you may be right about the bug. I've just never tried it.
My not-in-a-collection books, which fill the index beyond the initial collections, are the ones I get for free. Every so often, I choose a book from there, to read, alternating with the ones explicitly in CURRENT (i.e. "interesting - get around to this").
