Folder or collections as on my Sony-505. Tags won't do it.
Plain and simple - can't make it any clearer than this. I do not want to see all my books listed on the home pages. I only want to see the few books magazines newspapers I am currently reading, and then I want to see nothing but folders whose names I created. If I want another book, I can go to that folder, open it up and it should then appear on my home menu with my current books. And if I want to assign a book on the home pages back to a folder, I should be able to store it back out of the way - or delete it.
Love my Kindle-2 very much, but to have every single book magazine newspaper blog audio book show up on the home pages and have to sort and sift through it is nuts. If I had the 1,500 books stored, there is no way on earth I could possibly remember all the titles and authors to try to make it easier to lsort to ocate an item. To even suggest that is a solution is denying reality.
For those who don't think this is an issue, consider that the current Kindle-2 has vastly more storage space that the original. Imagine the next Kindle version with 20GB of storage space - thanks to future smaller less expensive chips. The concept of seeing everything show up in the home pages and having to sort and search through it all is simply mind numbing.
Listen to what users are saying when they plead for folders. It needs to happen, and it will happen guaranteed.
I currently store all my "free" non copyright eBooks on my laptop in a Kindle folder with subfolders for categories so I can find them easily and transfer them via USB when I want to read one. I delete a book when read and on my laptop move it to a READ subfolder. As a result I only have about 8 books at any time on my Kindle which is simply an absurd waste of that 1.4GB storage capacity.
However, by no means was the lack of folders a factor that would have led me to not buy my Kindle-2. I still have and use my Sony for which I have over 800 free eBooks on my laptop in folders for ease of access. But I'll guarantee you one thing, I will not buy the next Kindle if it doesn't have folders/collections.
