Also many collections have no Amazon bought books.

NONE of my physical Kindle ebooks are Cloud loaded, because that illegally adds DRM to DRM free titles and also means that they can't be backed up. ALL are downloaded to PC first.

Amazon is assuming:
1) You ONLY use their Cloud.
2) You ONLY buy their books.
3) You ultimately manage your library on your web site.

I manage my library with Calibre and I backup. Vendors clouds can't be trusted.

So, Collections USED to work sensibly on Kindles and work without the Cloud and for ANY eBooks. Now they don't. It's broken.
Well, there are a couple of reasons why cloud collections don't work well for you.

1. You don't use their cloud.
2. 2 of your devices are not capable of using cloud collections.

Since you don't use their cloud and don't seem to trust them at all, I'm curious as to why you would ever turn on the wifi on any of your devices in the first place?
