I'm used to Stanza on my iPod Touch which has many different folder arrangements (author, title, recently read, and several custom ones as it allows you create your own groupings and assign books to them).
I find it hard to imagine having to scroll through a long, long list of books to get to the one I want. Does it not even group books by the same author into a folder?

While waiting for folders to be implemented (if ever) you may find the following work-around helpful (if you haven't already seen this) - it was originally posted on the Amazon Discussion Boards.
"Unofficial Content Categories on Kindle 2
Kudos to Kindle Community member Bufo Calvin for this tip! With the ability to add notes to your Kindle 2 content and search for specific words or phrases on your Kindle 2's Home screen, you can categorize content by genre or other personalized terms.
Open up one of your books, select Add a Note or Highlight, and enter in a word (or words) you'd like to categorize by - genres such as history, fantasy, biography, etc. Try putting your initials or a common letter such as "x" before the word, "cshistory" or "xfantasy" for example. Save the note you chose to enter.
Now go back to your Home screen and type in the word you just used for your note. Once you've typed it, move your 5-way controller to the right and click on "Search My Items." You'll see the book you just added the note to appear. If you've added that note in multiple books, each one will appear in your search results"
