This looks very promising. However, as a very new Kindle 3 owner, I really need to be walked through this a bit. Maybe my questions below will benefit other newbies.

1) In step one, is this something I am doing on my PC? Do I create a folder called "Kindle" with the subsequent subfolders as in the example?
2) If I do as in #1 above, then do I open a cmd prompt for step 2? Then, type in:
cd kindle
dir /b /s > collections.txt
3) I assume the "collections.txt" file will then be in the "kindle" directory.
4) copy and paste into the web site and generate "collections.json"
5) Now I plug in my Kindle to the PC via USB
6) I make a backup of the collections.json file in the Kindle device's system folder. I presume I back it up to my PC. Then I copy the generated collections.json file to the Kindle device system folder. Also, I copy every book in my PC folder system to the respective folder on the Kindle device.
7) How do I make the system folder on the Kindle visible?

Do I have it right?
