Yes, that can get frustrating. I think it's probably syncing it out to the cloud with each change. i have a lot of collections and a lot of books so I think there is quite a lot of overhead for each change made.

The time lag has nothing to do with the cloud -- it happens when the WiFi is off.

The framework is just slow, especially the more books you have in collections. You can create collections a lot faster using the LibrarianSync hack, which writes directly to the Content Catalog rather than working with the framework -- maybe Amazon should hire barsanuphe!

That's why I wondered if a faster cpu would help

I am not even going to pretend that I won't be buying the new Kindle model, whatever it turns out to be and whenever it arrives. This is my hobby and I receive immense enjoyment from reading on a new, improved ereader. I figure it's a lot safer and less expensive than going to night clubs and bars to chase women . On top of that my wife accepts my ereader obsession where she said "NO" to the bar and nightclub thing..GRIN.

I used to be like this but I've managed to curb my tech gadet needs the last few years. Having constant kids expenses does that for you I've been using the Kindle 4 since 2011 but I've treated myself to a Kindle Voyage this year (picking it up in California soon -- shipped to a cousins house). I'll ride this Kindle model as long as I can.

Ya, a rumor about next gen amazon kindle from a Chinese social site lol
http://weibo.com/1677126244/CrJiMjbx0

It means, roughly,
"Undisclosed Kindle By Amazon, revolutionary exterior, the same screen as previous gen kindle but reduced the frame to 60%( similar to that Nano5 to Nano6 ), unsymmetric design, wedge-shaped panel, fitted with the official rechargeable adsorption case. there's a option for the case, rechargeable and solar powered, the material feels like the cardboard, full of technological sense."

Solar re charging would be the greatest innovation in e readers since front lighting.

A smaller frame would have me rethinking my decision not to buy one of the rumored devices.
