Glad to hear that they've changed that. IIRC, a few years ago, some MR members switched their Canada-based Kindle accounts from .com to .ca once the option became available, but regretted it and complained about not being able to switch back. Apparently the store selection was different with some books not showing up at .ca and a few features like Active Content were missing at the time.

Yeah, given everything else you've mentioned, that does sound like migrating rather than switching is probably the more economical option, especially if you buy a lot of Kindle books and stick with it long-term. (I do most of my shopping at Kobo, so my Amazon.com purchases can easily fit into the low amount of USD gift cards I cash in via Swagbucks every few months.)
Hopefully someone has experience with the collections thing and can tell you about it.
(Although it's probably not relevant, but ISTR that collections for Amazon's own books at least are stored and backed up to your account, and become available for your other devices? At least that's what happened when I created collections on my K2 and did a sync, and later saw them available on a new Kindle for Mac install. So the same thing might apply if they keep all your user preference-type info while migrating.)
