You can then choose on Kindle interface to show books sorted by name.
Personally, I consider browsing on an e-ink device so useless I never bother to. In that rare occasions, I'd just use stock browser. Sorry I can't help on that.
I have mostly KUAL extensions on my Kindle. I think I found all them packaged somewhere. There are, among the coolest:
Gcalculator
Kindle Explorer
KindleNotes
KindleReminder
Koreader (if you ever want to read epub or pdf on Kindle)
I have others (Kterm to name one, Rgbpaint) but they're not so useful to me, just proof of concept.

I manually named them 01 (bookname), 02 (bookname)..., but apparently one of the books I manually put into the documents folder is similar enough to the Kindle version of it, so it "renamed" it to the official name, and is no longer labeled a "personal" book.
I see, I just figured, if for whatever reason I decide to browse on an E-Ink book, I'd want the best experience.
I will take a look at all the extensions, thanks.

There's only two, skipstone and midori. Both are old.

LibrarianSync for managing collections.
screensavers hack if your Kindle is non-SO.
Fonts hack -- if you care about fonts, which I don't.  |
I've messed with calibre long before I got a kindle, but never took because I didn't do much ebook reading/didn't have a large collection. I will have to look into it.
Is this it?

Or is that only for the touch? The only other thread I found said I could install Debian and use netsurf, but I'm not that ambitious, and I'm not good enough with Linux.
LibraryanSync - seems a little complicated, although I did learn a tiny bit of how to read JSON yesterday. Basically it would allow me to manage collections easier(through calibre and the likes), and do that thing that I wanted with the book titles as well?
Screensavers - saw it, I have a magnetic cover, won't matter either way.
Fonts - same boat as you, no interest in it.
On another note,
PW2 Front Light Master - Saw this and I am now messing around with it.
