My thoughts too. I call BS on her explanation.

From what I can tell, the Kindle handles these tasks in stages with collections syncing being last priority (annoying, I know). Exacerbating the issue, these all seem to run at low-level background task priority. Would be nice if performance and library management improves. Yes, part of that is definitely due to software. However, faster CPU, more RAM and faster storage would help (but sadly, likely at the expense of battery life).
As it is, I only buy jailbreakable Kindles and use LibrarianSync for collections.

Well it has been a week for my Oasis 3 and a few months for my Kindle Basic 10th gen, and they still cannot see most of the collections that aren’t created on the Kindles themselves. Nor can they see collections created by the other Kindle. However all my Kindle apps on various iThingies can see all of them instantly. Plus the Kindles can only see some of the books in the few cloud collections they see. Totally screwed up. The problem is in the garbage programming on Amazon’s part. This is a well documented mess that has been around for at least two years according to other threads in omany other forums.

I couldn’t care less it if supposedly works for you or not. I suspect you haven’t fully understood what the issue even is. It is clearly a problem for a lot of people, especially with newer Kindles.
