I posted about this very thing a few months ago:

In my limited testing, I discovered that these directories are created if you connect the kindle to USB while a book is open. Actually, it's created after disconnecting the Kindle:

Open a book
Connect Kindle to Computer or put to sleep*
Disconnect Kindle or wake from sleep* (Directory is created at this point, I assume)
Connect Kindle to computer to see new directory in Documents

I never see a new directory created when I open a book, close the book and then connect to my computer or put to sleep* while on the home screen.

I still haven't divined the purpose of these directories.

This is with my PW3 and a PW2.

*ETA: I've also noticed that a directory is created if the Kindle goes to sleep with a book open.
