If Calibre can already do this - good. I haven't tried it yet. But the original machine should be able to. I'm no programmer, but I can't imagine that would be too difficult.
Neither Kobo nor B&N does this either. I believe there are device out there that rely on folder hierarchies though...

I wouldn't hold out for this. It actually WAS a feature of the Kindle before they took it away with Cloud Collections. Granted, it required a hack to enable...

If thsnis important to you I advise you to (if necessary) downgrade your Kindle to a firmware lower than 5.4.2 --either 5.4.0 for the PW2 or 5.3.9 (I believe it went straight to 5.4.4.2 or something) for the PW1.

Then install the Collections Manager kindlet.

2) Re-Naming
I'd like to be able to give the items/texts in the machine names, especially the stuff I "send to Kindle" from the internet.

calibre can change the metadata of any ebook and even email it to your send-to-kindle email address for you.
