Thank you both for your thoughtful and well written responses. I must say you have presented an interesting concept - one that I shall have to give thought.

I must agree that keeping duplicate copies of the same ebook is a waste. I will comment that it is more important to me to have my ebooks in a single genre category than to "spread" them across a number of genres. Of course, with my method I would have one book in one sub-folder under one genre folder.

EDIT
I thought some more on your concept and have a few queistions for you.

I would assume, given the "flat" nature of Kindle collections, that you have separate collections for each genre (Fiction - Science, Fiction - Non, Fiction - Historical, etc.) as well as "specialty" collections such as collections named Novel/Novella, Short Stories, (what is Flash?) as well as (I would assume) collections named Author, Title, ... Is this a correct assumption?

Finally, are there other "specialty" collection types that I should consider?

Thank you, in advance, for your replies.
END EDIT

Again, than you for your replies.

Regards,

Vandy
