If you don't have a touchscreen Kindle, then simply:
  1. Install the [GUI Plugin] Kindle Collections and follow the guide there.

If you have a touchscreen Kindle, then
  1. Jailbreak, using the latest snapshot version HERE which installs the MKK too.
  2. Add this kindlet to the documents folder of your Kindle: Collections Manager.
  3. Install the [GUI Plugin] Kindle Collections and follow the guide there.

The plugin will generate a collections.json file based on calibre's metadata, you can configure which metadata to use, and books will be added to collections but not deleted (LibrarianSync has an option to wipe collections and start from scratch).
