Are nested categories supported using the .json file? If so, how are they entered? I am thinking something like a top level of category of book with author at the next level possibly with series below that holding the books. Since multiple collections can be specified that can obviously be done as well, but the top level categories would hold large numbers of entries and some authors are quite prolific.

Nested categories are not supported in current Kindle firmware. Dunno when that change occurred but certainly by 5.6.x at least.
You can find a sample JSON at the bottom of this page:

If you're already using Calibre, I think the Kindle Collections plugin is the easiest way to generate the collections. You can easily create collections by authors, series, tags and even custom columns. Note, the format used in
/extensions/collection.json is different from the format used by the Calibre plugin in
/system/collections.json.
