I do not think it is a case of Kovid not being interested, but the fact that no way has (yet anyway) been found to properly create the files that the Kindle needs to manage collections. It is not at all clear whether this is resolvable via the USB interface to the Kindle.

In the end all we would need is to manage the tags/genres through Calibre and have them automatically transferred to the Kindle either through your catalogue or by creating Kindle collections.

This is the way that devices such as the Sony family are now handled as far as collection support is concerned. Bringing the Kindle family in line will be highly desirable if the technical issues can be resolved.
