Can you point to an account of the books being automatically downloaded? I've never seen it happen, and never heard of it happening either until now.

Yep, I've been using Kindles since 2009. Books never download automatically, even those in a collection. The star shows which collection is actually downloaded on that device.

I just looked at my Cloud Collections that are not downloaded on my Oasis. I tapped the 3 dots to the right of the non-downloaded collection, it says Pearl Buck, In Cloud: 12 Items, Downloaded: 6 Items

The choices are "Add/Remove Items", "Rename", "Add to Downloaded", and "Delete"

I picked "Add to Downloaded" so the Collection is now on the Oasis, but only the 6 books that were already on the Device are in the Collection. The other 6 show, because I'm looking at ALL, but if I want those other 6 books to download, I must tap them to select them to download. They won't download just because I downloaded the Collection.
