My Catagories:

Reading
To Be Read Fantasy
To Be Read Non Fiction
To Be Read Science Fiction
To Be Read Mystery
To Be Read Literature
To Be Read Fiction
Read Fantasy
Read Non Fiction
Read Science Fiction
Read Mystery
Read Literature
Read Fiction
Games (I have been accumulating them)

My reading folder has about 20 books in it. I like having the To Be Read catagories so that I can go and grab a book I want pretty easily. The Read catagories are pretty full but I normally know the title of a book or an author if I am looking to re-read something.

If we had sub folders I would end up creating series specific folders in my Read file.

ETA: I have something like 400 books on my Kindle. You are probably going to have to make some decisions about books that you keep on your Kindle. The K3 and DX can hold 3,500 books if they are the standard size. I have some books that are the complete collection of a specific author so they are quite a bit larger then the standard book. If I were you, I would keep the books that you think you are most likely to re-read on your Kindle.

I have about 50 books that I did not put on my DXG because I know I am not likely to re-read them.
