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.
Ah, yes, that's true for the Kindle 3, which I now notice the original poster has. I have a Kindle Touch, where the collections file is not publicly visible.
