BTW I personally use a python script (created by someone on the forum IIRC) which just maps directories in the documents folder to collections. Works like a charm and makes my DX a perfect replacement for the many stacks of printouts of scientific papers I used to distribute all over the floor of my study ;-).
But I agree, more official support from Amazon would be great.

You are right. If those programs just modify collections.json i won't call it a hack.
