It is much more mobile friendly. On my iPod Touch the default view is scaled to the screen and you do not have to zoom in to do anything.

are 3rd party purchased books still to be makes or listed with the Personal Documents label?

I received this response, I am reverting back, having the ability to make multiple selections is not worth the trouble of the other "features" they added:

Hello,

I'm truly sorry that you find the new design with more problems.

In this case, please click on "RevertToOldMYK" that can be located at the top of the page when you're at your "Manage Your Kindle" so that your "Manage Your Kindle" will go back to the previous state.

Rest assured, I've forwarded your concern to our development team.

They will carefully review your comments as we plan our future improvements. From time to time, we test both new and existing features on our website to determine which characteristics or services drive customer purchases and satisfaction.

We definitely value your opinion and will continue to listen and respond to our customers' concerns. We will make every effort to do our best to lead it to program changes or enhancements.

Thanks again for giving us the opportunity to improve.

Your patience and understanding is highly appreciated in this matter.

We look forward to seeing you soon.

I don't see any RevertToOldMYK option anywhere on the new MYK page.

Seems like Amazon leaves things alone until they are nearly obsolete, then they jump in and make a bunch of assumed improvements. This tends to cause a lot more issues than it solves. Then Amazon abandons the new thing they made for an indefinite period of time.

I couldn't find it either, I am waiting for a response, but in the meantime I am back to using Firefox, which never reverted to the new way.

Well, this morning I got a bit farther down my author sort list, into the "L"s. Then it stopped. I also don't see a revert to old MYK.

Nothing for me either.

I wonder if this is something they plan on adding, but have not gotten around to yet??

Still waiting for the new layout on my account (I keep checking, on multiple browsers, but so far no-go). My mother got switched over already, as I noticed when I was adding some books to her account, and she's been an Amazon user much less time than me. I'm hoping mine will switch soon, though!

[Tarana]

I'm in the US. I had the new view last night, but this evening, it is back to the old view. However, it now STAYS on books unless you switch it, so I can not only ignore audiobooks when looking at books but can also look at the list of audiobooks I have (quite a long list now).

[johnnyb]

I got the new look (has since changed again) but luckily I already used the opportunity to delete the hell out of my Personal Documents and previous unread and unwanted freebie books from Amazon...

[Pangolin]

Anyone using .co.uk got it yet?
I've checked using Safari, iOS7 and Chrome, and no change.....

Problems
-Must continuously scroll down on page in order for all books to show up in library, this should have stayed as it was with no user intervention necessary
-Lost the ability to sort in ascending or descending order
-Lost the total count of all books in the list view.
-Lost the ability to see the date purchased when in List View
-When switching from cover grid or list view, you then have to continuously scroll down to get all books visible.
-In Books view there are subsections for loans and rentals but there is no subsection for Amazon purchases only
- in Device view, the books on the device should be listed first, in the sort order that is selected. Then all the remaining books should be listed, once again in the sort order selected.
- In Device view, the option to remove books from the device would be nice.
-Books I've purchased after borrowing from a library are showing as "loan expired" and are not available to download to devices.


Improvements
-Multiple books can be selected and sent to device or deleted from library
-Searching is quicker
-the Preorders subsection now shows more preorders, as opposed to the old way which only showed 7 or so.

I am going to have to send these to Amazon myself.

If you don't like to scroll to see your books, don't resize the webpage! Every time you resize even if in list view, you have scroll to bring them back.

You say you can't see purchased date on list view - does this mean you can see it in cover view? In list view I see it if I hover over the book name, but I get nothing when I hover over the cover. Edit: I see it in cover view now, maybe I had to wait until all books were downloaded?

I am going back to the old using the link posted a ways back https://www.amazon.com/gp/digital/fi.../subscriptions

The only way to see them now is to scroll over or select individual books, not helpful when you are looking for specific dates.
