I'm using an old version of the Kindle Reader for Windows that downloads my books in AZW3 format. Calibre can read these and remove the DRM. I then can create collections which Calibre can recreate on my Kindle.
It works like a charm and means that all my books are sorted and it's easy to find what I want!
Of course Amazon, in their infinitive wisdom (like many other companies), can't abide anything being useful and need to 'improve' their products, usually making them worse! Sorry! Rant over!
