In Windows Explorer, navigate to the Kindle. If Win 7 or Vista, click in the address bar to make it editable so it says something like F:/Kindle/. Type "system" so that it reads F:/Kindle/System and hit enter. You're now in the hidden system folder. The file you want from there is collections.json. Copy that to your computer's hard drive. It contains all your collections info.

If you have to restore your Kindle, first load all the books back onto it, then copy that file back into the system folder the same way you accessed it above, then restart the Kindle from the settings menu.
