I personally prefer to keep my books organised with proper library management software like Calibre. It makes it far easier to choose which book to read when you can sort into different genres at the touch of a button, or show only books in series etc. And most importantly for me, easily view all of this plus the cover and quick synopsis of the book all on one page. I use a combination of Calibre and Dropbox, plus an external HDD to store my books, so the Amazon cloud is really only a tertiary back-up.
My problem is that I do, on occasion, buy books from Amazon and send them directly to my Kindle, so simply avoiding the firmware update isn't really an option, I'm going to end up with it eventually, and when I do, it's going to be a real pain.

This is it exactly, Amazon have made it unnecessarily annoying unless you use your Kindle in a set way. If there isn't a change made in a future firmware update, I guess the only answer is just not to use any collections? Even then, if that works, I'll probably be fine since I rarely have more than 20-30 books on my Kindle, but not much use to many others who need collections.
