What I saw was that I added and removed books from three collections on a frequent basis (usually: add to Unread, remove from Unread later on, add to Active; remove from Active, add to Read). I didn't compare the memberships of the cloud collections with the memberships of the non-cloud collections because, honestly, who has time to do that?
Then I got a new Kindle (Oasis 3), looked at the cloud side of the collections for the first time in years, and oh dear. Unread still had almost everything in it, and Active had a pile of ancient stuff that should have been removed long ago (and, on the other Kindle, clearly had been). The Read collection had a seemingly random pile of stuff in it, though all stuff I had at some time tried to add (just not all, or even most, of it).
In all, a feature that was implemented, never really tested, and that is a crawling mass of bugs -- just like almost every feature on the Kindle beyond basic reading (and, honestly, given the continuing bugs regarding turning pages and having only some of the text appear, perhaps not even that).
I like the Kindle but do they ever need to give it some serious debugging time. (They won't, of course.)
