Well, I’d say that it is pretty clear that the number one complaint about the Kindle 3 is the lack of organizational capability and that this has been an ongoing issue with the Kindles since their first release. It is my understanding that Jeff Bezos has an irrational aversion to the file/folder document organizational format. It appears as though the Collections format is his attempt to introduce a superior organizational method. It has been an almost complete failure to date but perhaps with enough rewrites/updates/development it will eventually start to address the user’s needs.
Now my understanding is that the operating system of the Kindle uses file/folder organization inherently or that it has coding to allow it to communicate with PCs in that format. Does this not mean that any attempt to use another organizational method is adding an additional layer of coding on top of the existing code merely to provide a user interface that is suppose to be easier? Given that the file/folder organization has developed over decades is it not likely to be the most efficient available and that it is relatively easy to learn? Whilst there are many in the organizational sciences that have waved their hands about numerous new and improved methods not one has been adopted so far as I can tell and I question using the Kindle as an experimental tool for such testing.
Come on Mr. Bezos, give us a break and give us a usable organizational tool. Files and folders would be nice.
