And for another different way: I also don't rely on my Kindle to do more than present me with books. I'm old school. I keep a text file on my (mac/pc; mac in my case) that lists Title, Author, date read (maybe price paid - free or $x.xx). Possibly a word "hated" or such.
I GET this data from the clippings file. It marks every bookmark I made, so I read through clippings to find the last bookmark for each book, and enter this info in my text file. You'd be doing a whole lot of them at once (groan), but I do it every time I finish a book.
Then I delete the clippings file, so it doesn't get so long. Once I've copied "date finished" and name, author for each book, I don't want that info any longer.
Sometimes I copy this text file onto the kindle, most often I don't. But it's great for searching for an author, or a word in a title, etc.
I do keep a DONE folder on my Oasis I, but I occasionally purge that folder, and leave the books only in the Kindle's cloud.
When I also switched from a kindle keyboard (as you are doing), I had to switch to the new Cloud collections. Painful at first, but it can now be done a bit faster on a computer, on your amazon device/contents page. I only bother with folders for: Current, Done, Paid$$, Read2015, Read 2016 .... etc. Books that I got free are not in any folder, unless they are interesting enough to put into Current (which has > 100 books in it now!). So it's really a ToBeRead folder.
