Manage Your Kindle Changed

[tomsem]

It's working on every browser I've tried it on so far.

Likes:
- can sort by 'oldest' first, 'Z' first
- having dictionaries & user guides in their own category (though 'logically' this should include 3rd party dictionaries purchased at Amazon)
- multiple selection for delete/deliver
- mobile browser-friendly (except for the Paperwhite browser, which crashes).

Tweaks needed:
- need counts for each category or subcategory (in the case of Books), so it could say Purchases (358), Borrows (17), Loans (0) etc.
- needs to be easier to clear search (i.e. put an 'X' button next to the search input field to clear and restore to unfiltered list)
- I'd like to multi-select 'Clear Furthest Page Read'
- Audiobooks should be deliverable to Fire tablets, if not any Audible app registered to your account. Who listens to audiobooks on their Kindle?

Wants:
- 'export notes and highlights' for Books and Documents. This would initiate download of a .txt or .rtf or .csv containing your annotations for the selected item(s), ideally with some standard or pseudo standard citation form
- display 'usage' of DRM restricted books, and list which devices are using them (if not some way to delete on next sync)
- a (cloud) collections option to let you manage membership of individual (or multiple) books; a collections tab to let you add/delete collections, and edit membership thereof

Yes, I too would love to have these two, especially the first one, I use those totals regularly. Luckily my bookmark is still taking me to the old MYC so until they get rid of that link, I am ok for a bit. For the second one, I am using the audible website to send to my Fire.

This would be interesting and I am sure I can get a use for it, but until then I use the My Kindle page and my uploaded clippings file on the Clippings Converter page.

Now this one I would sacrifice my first born grandchild for...

One thing I like about the new Manage Your Kindle is the ability to delete multiple items (up to 10) from your account at one time. When I first got my K3 that didn't exist. Now if I want to remove multiple personal docs at once I can do it. Neat.

One thing I have noticed is that the ability to select a default device to send purchased books to appears to have been removed. Or at least, I can't find it!

I just tried to go there and notice the name has changed to: Manage Your Content and Devices.

Under Devices I show: Galaxy s5 2014 TWICE. That bug is still there perhaps because I own Kindle for Android, which can NOT be uninstalled, and Kindle for Samsung. Each must be registered separately even though they are on the same device.

Under Content I notice free dictionaries can NOT be deleted.

That's not new. They never have been deletable.

I am pretty sure you could...

I have removed the Kindle User Guides on numerous occasions -- I cannot remember about the dictionaries but I have a feeling it was the same. They removed the ability (loophole?) around the time they tested the old new interface.

I never liked the idea of having any guides, much less multiple versions in multiple languages. I have a vague recollection that I removed the non-English dictionaries as well.

Actually they were, when they used to be included with the books and not in their own section they used to be deletable. Once they moved to their new section, they were no longer deletable. I know this because I used to delete all the non-English ones from my account.

Hah, I thought so!

Thanks for confirming I'm not crazy.

That matches my experience.
