None of the book collections show and I can't figure out how to do anything on the home page, other than moving stuff around and deleting.

I guess that is all I can do there now and the other sections are taking care of other stuff. But it was easy to have say a most used recipe book collection on the homepage to quickly find. Now I have to find my way into the book area and then look for the collection and then open it. I have like 40 collections so it can take a while for the page to scroll down.

Is there a way to put collections on the home page from the ebook cloud?
I miss being able to put collections on Home screen as well. You can group apps on the home screen (and give the group a name), at least most of them, but for some reason 'Books' and 'Shop Amazon' won't go into one. The other thing about collections is that I'd like to take New and Recent books and put them into collections, but no, you have to go to the Books screen to do that. And their terminology isn't consistent: on the Recent screen, one of the options is Remove from Home, and that should be Remove from Recents. Collections can now auto-sort, and you can select items and modify their collection membership with one operation, so at least that is better now.

Probably not of concern to many people here, but there is no Full Device Encryption as there was with Fire OS 4, and Screen Reader (VoiceView) has lost a couple of features (but that may turn out to be a good thing: have to play with it more).
