organizing books
I wish i could organize my books into folders on my Kindle! If it truly can hold 200 books, I’d think we could organize them in a better way than just “date added to kindle/date last looked at” or by title.
Ideally, what I’d LIKE to do is file them in folders: pleasure reading, work reading — or two or three separate work folders, proposals and full manuscripts, and current clients’ new material.
Since I do show my Kindle off, I like to turn to something that a friend (or random stranger in the doctor’s office, like last night) might have heard of; i don’t want to show them my manuscripts, or submissions that I’m considering … or that don’t think much of. But if I’ve handed it to them, they can flip around my books all they want — which is fine, of course, but it changes the order I’ve been looking at all these books or proposals, so my material gets lost in page 3 or 4.
So when will I be able to keep my submissions and already published books in different folders?

GREAT idea. Even separating “Purchased” from “My Documents” would help.

Fantastic question! I’d love to be able to better sort my books. Keep us posted!

Totally agreed! I show off my Kindle and would love to separate the textbooks from novels from self-help from whatever.
