I'm hoping the Cloud Collections mentioned will be part of a redesign to the Manage Your Kindle pages.... probably just wishful thinking though.

How will it work?

If it happened automatically, how would it make its choices? You will get your HDX before me. I'm especially interested to see if it supports Collections. Let us know when you get your unit. |

So far it doesn't look like K4 or K3 will get this. On the Kindle Fire you can sync more than just books. Pretty much everything will sync now including Apps and Amazon Videos! |

My concern is that we had to use kludge means over the years to get Collections to show up in the order we preferred. I remember using naming schemes like:
Mostly I abandoned those schemes but they are still in Amazon's database. When I chose to import Collections into Kindle for iOS I got everything I had ever put on any Kindle! So lots of duplicates with multiple naming schemes. Yuk!!! ![]() |

And there are many ways to implement this rather vaguely described feature, and as with any new feature there will be a diversity of opinions about it once it arrives. Some will like it, some will not. The current implementation of Collections does nothing useful for me, so I don't use them at all. If Cloud Collections looks something like they do on the Kindle iOS app, I think I might start to use them a little bit. But we will have to wait and see.

I think I read that the Kindle iOS already has this feature? Can anyone confirm that? Last edited by Blossom; 10-17-2013 at 05:10 PM. |

The iOS app has something like Cloud Collections in the sense that you can see all the items that belong to it whether they are on the device or not. But they don't sync with other devices/apps. It was last updated September 17. Kindle HDX may have something similar, but again the key feature is collection sync between apps/devices. I assume there will have to be an option on MYK to turn it off for people that do not want the collections to sync. And I'm very curious about what it will look like when that is enabled: do you have to see all the collections on all the devices/apps? If you delete one from a device, does it go away for all the other devices? Last edited by tomsem; 10-17-2013 at 05:45 PM. |
