I use Collections on the kindle. It is not the greatest setup, especially as I acquire more books, but my collections are: Fiction, Nonfiction, Memoirs, Fiction-unread, Nonfiction-unread, Memoirs-unread, Reference, Samples-Fiction, Samples-Nonfiction, Samples-memoirs, Spirituality.

I list all my books on LIbraryThing.com (not GoodReads), so I know whether a book is on my kindle, was from the library etc.

It's not perfect, but it is better than nothing. Of course I often forget to put my books, especially the samples, inside the collections, so even with collections I have 22 pages on my kindle. Sigh...
