Am I missing something? Is there a better way to manage collections that doesn't involve jailbreaking? I can't believe there's not a better way...

Thanks, Bezos!
There is an exception in this case, the Kindle being one of the new Oasis (KOA2) models.
We can not jailbreak the current update (5.9.2).
But we can jailbreak the firmware version they have installed when they ship.

So if you want to jail break the device, when you get it, use the OTA blocking directory name on it so that it does not update on you.
The blocker directory is named:
update.bin.tmp.partial
Use that exact name, no additional extension.
