Here's the problem: I don't want some of this stuff, some of it I want in collections, some of it I want just floating around, and I need a good way to add however many of the mobi files I want to a particular spot so they're easy enough to manage.

Anyone have any other suggestions? For as much as I love my Kindle, spending hours playing around with the little joystick isn't really my idea of fun.

TIA for any help!
If you decide to keep the massive quantity of data on your Kindle (and I recommend you follow others advice and only keep the ones you plan to read soon on it) remember that you can use subdirectories in the "documents" folder. Just hook the Kindle to your computer and organize away. The Kindle will ignore you efforts, and it won't affect how collections work, but it will allow you to more easily manage files using the PC.

It's not a perfect solution, but I find it helps. OTOH, I have under a hundred documents on my K3. Most of which I really need to trash.
