    While this suggestion may be ok for people who have a few items on their Kindle, I had about 20 “collections”, and 100’s of items. When I deregistered and reregistered, guess what? The collections were GONE. There goes hours of work.

    This suggestion to deregister/re-register is a common one. Indeed, I did not find any OTHER suggestions.

    My problem was that somehow two instances of the same Atlantic magazine issue appeared in my library. No combination of removing or downloading (again) would cause either one of the two copies to be deleted, or to allow me to open and read this issue. There was literally nothing in the Kindle on iPad interface that allowed me to get past this issue. Every time I tried to open one of the two copies, I got the error above.

    Why is the Kindle interface such a piece of garbage, frankly? If you have hundreds of books, and even as little as several subscriptions, there is no way to control the order of the items – you get issues of Forbes from 2014 near the front of your list, while recent editions of your Atlantic subscription are nowhere to be found.

    One way to manage 100’s of items is to divide them into categories and to put them into folders. Why no folders interface? Why does Amazon allow people to wipe out their Collections? No knowledgeable Amazon moderator could have weighed in on this topic?
