Putting books in folders has two purposes. It allows you to easily group books that belong to a given collection and folder name becomes the actual collection name on kindle. So the path of the book on your pc determines which collection it will end up in. For most books the book file path has to be the same on kindle. For amazon books (asin with .azw extension) they can be placed anywhere in documents folder on kindle, but you would have to keep track of these books by yourself. Just to keep it simple and consistent, I would recommend to keep the same folder structure on pc and kindle.

Barry, glad it's working out for you.
I also fixed that bug where "kindle" folder had to be in root of a drive.
It can be anywhere now. In fact, I also enabled option to run "dir" command directly on attached kindle drive. Provided you put all books in their respective folders.
