If you know of a way to create collections on an unregistered Kindle, please do tell!
Only on jailbroken Kindles (LibrarianSync). For that, your Kindle must be running firmware 5.8.7(.0.1) or lower (Home -> Menu -> Settings -> Menu -> Device Info to check FW version).
5 x Jailbreak

There's also a serial port jailbreak for the Paperwhite that works on all firmware versions released thus far but that requires physically dismantling your Kindle.
