and a new update to Cloud collections on Amazon's website. They changed the web pages so now making the collections and adding books to it is actually MORE TEDIOUS than it is while using the actual Kindle. I just got the PW5 (11th gen 2021) and now when on the Manage Your Digital content page, it's a friggin pain!
the old way, if you were on Books or Docs, you would tag 1 or more to put into a Collection, and a box would open, and you could, A: search for your collection by typing the name, or B: make a new one right then and there.
NOW, a box opens up.. and it shows 3 collections at a time with a check box. Not in alphabetical order, but in usage. and if you are like me..usually 2 or 3 at a time. and if you are like me with 250+ collections.. that's a pain in the butt. No searching by name.. nada! and if you have to make a new one.. you have to leave the book or Doc tab, go to Collections, make a new collection, and then start all over. and it does not show up! The new Manage page actually makes doing it ON THE KINDLE preferable to doing it on the website!!! Can we get a large group complaining to Amazon to put it back!! I've made multiple complaints to them on it.
