When I subscribe to a newspaper, say the WJS, all the issues are shown as one item of content called Wall Street Journal. This has nothing to do with the directory structure in the Kindle's file system -- there each issue is laid out flat with the other e-books. Each issue has a very peculiar name which includes "Wall Street Journal" but has more than 19 other characters of garbage.

It would be very useful -- necessary if you fill up 4GB with e-books -- to have a similar way to organize content.

Does anyone know how the Kindle UI knows to display subscriptions this way? It could be in the "garbage" characters in the name. It could be within the AWZ control file. Or it could be entirely outside the part of the file system which we are allowed to see.

Thanks for any ideas -- Vincent
