... actually, considering how many features I've implemented in things over the years and never documented, perhaps it's not that odd. Programmers just suck at documentation  |
Can you tell me exactly where in the manual it says that? I'm looking at the
manual now, and this is what it says:

Cloud Collections
Cloud Collections enable you to organize the content on your Kindle Oasis into customized categories that are stored in the Cloud. Your collections are synced between other devices and reading apps that are registered to the same Amazon account and that support Cloud Collections. You can add as many items as you like to each collection, including books and personal documents. Items can also be added to more than one collection. Audible content cannot be added to collections; however you can add the Kindle book version. For information on devices and apps that support Cloud Collections, go to www.amazon.com/devicesupport.
To create a new collection:
1. On the Home screen, tap Your Library in the top left of the screen.
2. On your library page, tap the Menu icon.
3. Select Create New Collection.
4. Use the keyboard to type a name for the collection, then tap OK. A list of the items on your Kindle that can be added to a collection displays.
5. Tap the checkbox next to an item's title to add it to the collection, then tap Done when finished. You can add or remove items at a later time.
Tap the Menu icon on the collection’s cover when in Grid view or on the right side of the screen when in List view, then tap Add/Remove Items. You can also view this option by pressing and holding on the collection's name or cover. Other options include Rename, Remove from Device, and Delete. To exit a collection, tap the Home or Back icon. To filter the content in your library by collection, tap All Items or the currently selected filter, then Collections.
Collections downloaded to the device appear in your All Items, Books, Comics, Periodicals,and Docs views. To download a collection, tap the Menu icon on the collection's cover when in Grid view, or on the right side of the screen when in List view, then tap Add to Downloaded. You can also view this option by pressing and holding on the collection's cover (or name if using Listview). Note that this setting is device-specific and will not be saved when you deregister your Kindle. To remove a collection from your device, tap the Menu icon on the collection’s cover when in Grid view or on the right side of the screen when in List view, then tap Remove from Device. You can also view this option by pressing and holding on the collection's cover or title.
Tips:
•Deleting a collection that was created on a device or in a reading app that supports Cloud Collections, such as your Kindle, will delete it from the Cloud and other devices or reading apps that support Cloud Collections and are registered to the same Amazon account.
•Deleting a collection from your Kindle does not remove the content stored on your device or in the Cloud. Items previously placed into the collection that are stored on your Kindle will appear on the Home screen and in the Cloud after the collection is deleted.

I don't see anything in there saying that the contents of the collection will be downloaded to the device. Maybe it's in an older version of the Oasis Manual?
