No, that's bonkers. Because they are there ALREADY if you go to add a local book. A collection is just container. I only want the Collection names, not what is in them on Amazon. Some of those are out of date versions.

ALSO I ALREADY downloaded all my Amazon content. Why on earth would I download it again?

This is mindless stupid design!

Indeed the STUPENDOUSLY STUPID ACTION of clicking even on a Empty Collection (apparently) in ALL so it's listed in DOWNLOADED works, EVEN THOUGH I ALREADY added local books to it under DOWNLOADED list and the the Title count in Add to Collection increments.

After doing this stupid click, the Collection Titles Total in Downloaded shows the REAL title Count rather than Amazon's Cloud Imaginary count.

Also there are a large number of collections.
1) Why are they there to Add a local book to but not displayed unless newly created
2) Why ON EARTH should I have to go to ALL and click on EACH collection to "Add to Downloaded"?

Amazon has lost the plot on GUI design and Collections and cloud and Sync.
