No, D&T via USB content has been "nuked". Obviously the Amazon Kindle system is a bit broken. Collections can be messed up too. That's why I think the "solution" is to ONLY use D&T (and don't buy a Kindle that doesn't support it) and never use WiFi, Sync or "Send to Kindle", except with a Kindle App only used for Amazon, or if your Kindle eink is ONLY used for KU / loans with no purchased ebooks or sideloaded content.

It looks like Amazon thinks the Kindle is a terminal.
