Let's look at this another way:

The Kindle - YOUR Kindle - isn't the Parliamentary Library. It's your "personal study" not a library for others to search.

It doesn't need the Dewey decimal system and it doesn't need a folder for every category known to humankind.

How you organize your Kindle - or any personal filing system - will depend on how you use it.

Categories on my Kindle include:
  1. Career, Govt. (I work for the feds, hence this combination)
  2. Money, Economics (anything about macroeconomics or my own money)
  3. Entertainment, Fiction (some things are entertaining but not fiction)
  4. IM, KM, Open-Data (a personal interest)
  5. Science, Technology, Culture
  6. System, Reference (system dictionaries, Kindle manuals etc)

I was thinking of adding a category or two but the above works for me so far. I frequently add items to multiple collections but I don't keep thousands of items on it at any given time. I have 75 right now.
