That I expected and I like the results.<br /><br /> I don't want only a few collections that, when opened, give me LONG lists of titles. So I prefer more collections. That's an individual thing and that's what's good about this user-customizable stuff, in my own view.<br /><br /> - Grumbling back :-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05109282436243758435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872447660964013545.post-9536284110498712202010-06-21T11:27:07.079-07:002010-06-21T11:27:07.079-07:00Thanks for pointing out the existence of the '...Thanks for pointing out the existence of the 'Periodicals: Back Issues' collection. <br /><br />Unfortunately this feature does not do anything for me - I don't subscribe to anything from Amazon apart from 'Amazon Daily', which doesn't get archived and therefore the Periodicals collection never shows up. The feature does not manage my calibre newsfeeds. It was nice to have all of this (Amazon Daily and calibre newsfeeds) tucked away on the Subscriptions view without my having to do anything. And at present, because calibre flags its subscriptions as 'Subscription', they can't be put into a Collection (I'm sure Kovid will fix this eventually..). Not a big deal, but it offends my aesthetic sensibilities a bit since I can't get my HOME list to be as clean as it was before.<br /> <br />And while it's true you can create your own Collections for what used to be classified as 'Personal Documents', it is a maintenance task I didn't have to do before. And it seems to take one or two extra joystick moves on average to open the item I want to read, given how I have come to organize things (everything I can put into a collection is in one of 5 or 6 I've created, and I pretty much stay with Collections as my HOME).<br /><br />Grumble, grumble. I'm just about used to it now, but it seems there was some regression in the quality of my user experience in return for Collections.Tom Semplehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05127272649086914117noreply@blogger.com
