There is a really simple workaround.
1) Only use the Kindle as the selected model to buy Amazon eBooks
2) Select Download and Transfer via PC and it will offer your default Kindle as the one the file is for (i.e. a recent one, not a DXG or something old is a good idea)
3) Make sure you have Calibre and DeDRM (4.23 currrently till the Apprentices wrangle the third python)
4) Import the downloaded file to Calibre.
5) Assign it to a Collection
6) Convert to epub2
7) Plug in a Kobo ereader and send to Main Memory or SD Card depending on model
8) Backup the original downloads and Calibre Library.
No problem with Collections ever again. I'm now not going to bother with Collections on the Kindle and only use it for 10 to 20 files for test. Annotation is now faster on Kobo, originally it was faster on Kindle PW3. But always, the Kobo Utilities have been better than ANY method for extracting Annotations from Kindle.
Sync was important for a PDA and a PC for addresses etc. It's overhyped on ereaders or ereading apps as most people only read on one device. Simply copying the file from Calibre is easy and a search for phrase is faster than syncing one device to the cloud and another from the cloud.
Also Download via PC avoids the hyped KFX. It's "advanced typesetting" is artificial, purely done after the fact as most ebooks use the EXACT same source for KF8 and KFX. KFX is really about control and DRM.
