It would definitely be great if it could be programmed to manage the Kindle Collections in Calibre. The current method on the Kindle is a step in the right direction but is pretty clunky when you have lots of books on there.

There almost needs (not in Calibre per se) some sort of emulator like there was on PDAs, where you could connect the PDA via USB/dock and an image of it, would show up on your pc, you could operate it using the mouse and keyboard so that typing text in was a lot quicker.

It looks like there are emulators out there for publishers to check what a book looks like, but not to remotely operate a Kindle via it's USB connection.
