Did the books come from amazon purchases, or from elsewhere? If the books are amazon purchases, it may be possible to manage your collections using the Kindle for PC application.
It's a shame managing large collections is so cumbersome on the Kindle Oasis. I know two ways of adding books to collections, and they are both very bad.
You can try 'adding books to collection' via the collection menu. However, there is no way to search for titles. So, you have to skim through your library one page at a time for every collection. The best you can do is sort by author or title, and use the 'go to' to locate the letter of the alphabet.
Alternatively, you can search for titles in your library, then add them to collection via the menus one by one. However, this is also extremely sluggish. While searching, there is no way to access the book's options when the title automatically appears: you have to access the 'see all search results' page and add the book from there. Furthermore, once a collection grows past roughly 150 items, my Kindle takes longer and longer to process each new addition - freezing for over twenty seconds. So, it is always preferable to use the 'add books to collection' utility, rather than adding books one at a time, and I minimise the number of books in each collection by creating more narrow categories.
Both of these processes could be improved by software changes:
- adding a 'search' function in the 'add books to collection' function.
- allow a long-press to access book options in auto-complete search.
