None of my content is on Amazon's cloud, as I don't want it there. I have hundreds of personal documents and of course some side loaded books. I've had three Paperwhites since 2012. I've successfully transferred all of my content to each new Paperwhite without the Amazon cloud.

Copying the Documents folder (CONTENT) over to a new Kindle works. I have a WORD.docx detailing it. I won't post it. The issue I still don't understand is the Collection function. While copying the Documents CONTENT over gives me all of my eBooks and personal documents, including highlights and notes, it doesn't handle sorting those hundreds of things into my previous collections. Downloading a new book (I side-load) restores all of my Collection organizations! Has to be from Amazon's cloud. Nice! But I don't understand it. I see the Collections under Content on Amazon's website, but there isn't any content because all of my content is local/side-loaded/downloaded.

Just curious, thanks for any replies!
