For me, ALL of my organization/management is done in Calibre. My Kindle is a reading device only (it hasn't even been online for eons - I sideload everything from Calibre). I keep between one and two dozen books maximum on my Kindle. With that small number of books I can always find my next book to read by just scrolling through the entire library on the device. No need for any organization on the portable device. Once I finish a book on the Kindle, I immediately delete it. I can always put it back onto the Kindle later, via Calibre, if I want. Every so often I plug my Kindle into the computer and use Calibre to review and update what I have available on the Kindle. But I never keep much on the Kindle since I only read one book at a time, and in my case, they are all fiction novels.
The Kindle is an excellent eReader, but an atrocious organizer. I suspect this statement describes most every other eInk device as well. I take no pleasure in banging my head against a wall trying to make a device perform a task that it is so dreadful at, no matter how much one may wish things to be different. I personally don't see any need to agonize over which eInk device you buy either, looking for the best organizer. Trying to figure out and rank pitiful vs. pitiful+1 is a fool's errand.
