The Home / Library page.

The ONLY place I can see collections at all, is if I select Add Book to Collection by holding on the title for the book menu.

The books are sideloaded/USB. They show up in DOWNLOADED

But I did have some from Amazon on the Kindle. They are still listed under ALL. I have no need to redownload them as I have them also via "Download via PC" and in Calibre.

In either case, before or after removal or addition of books, "Collections" is greyed out on Sort on ALL and DOWNLOADED tabs.
However you can add a book to a collection, then you see a list of all the Collections and how many titles are in each Collection.

I may log into Amazon directly and see what my Account has. Though it should be irrelevant.

I have a Kindle DXG and Kindle PW3 on the same account. Obviously only the PW3 has the 5.13.3

My Kindle Keyboard is on a separate account.

I've discovered a quite unrelated problem, nothing to do with firmware or the actual Kindle. That is that if a book is purchased and not downloaded, and the book is updated on Amazon, even weeks later if you do the download via the Kindle Sync, you get the older version. I think the Publisher has to actually manually contact Amazon KDP or downloads are ALWAYS the version as it was when purchased, even if updated before you first download. At least I hope this is just an Amazon KDP thing and not Firmware.

Smashwords always lets customers download the most recent version OR earlier ones, but no earlier than the version at time of purchase.

Also KDP isn't updating pages when a new book is added to a series. Again nothing to do with the Kindle Firmware, it's a KDP issue. They have to be told, look there's more. Also 10 Weeks to go and Ireland is still treated as a UK region on Amazon. Grrrr.
