Ok, since I don't use the cloud, any cloud, maybe I just don't understand. But my perception of Amazon's cloud is that is only for content purchased from Amazon. I do have a few hundred books purchased from Amazon, but I have more than 400K ebooks on my computer. Am I to understand that all of my books that are in a collection on my Kindle are stored in Amazon's cloud, and that I can just dl the collection with the folder names and the books inside, from the cloud? That would be cool beans if true. All I know is that when I tried to create a Stephen King collection on my new Oasis, it said I couldn't use the name, because it already existed in the cloud.
PS to you Texas people. My home is Port Neches even though I was born in LA. Of course right now I live in the Philippines.
