In the end, I download only a small number of books to the Kindle. About two dozen are resident on my Kindle at any one time. That's a small enough number that you really don't need any organization. You can find what you want by just scrolling up and down the list of books.
When I finish a book, I usually remove it from the Kindle, and then add a new one in its place. I only read one book at a time, and having about two dozen to choose from at the last minute is good enough for me. I don't need to have my entire book collection available on the Kindle all the time. I can pre-choose the 24 or so books from Calibre, put them on my Kindle, then make my final choice for my next read from those 24 at the last minute. As my mood changes over time, sometimes I remove a batch of books I previously put on the Kindle because I am no longer very enthused about reading them. Then I replace them with a new batch of books I am more enthused about. I do this rarely, but sometimes it happens.
I find this way of doing things much better (for me) than fighting through and being frustrated with the pitiful organization options available on a book reader. Things like "Kindle Collections" are (maybe) better than nothing ... but not by much. So I just use Calibre on my computer as a far superior organization method.
