I use calibre.
I installed calibre yesterday for the first time. Haven't yet got around to exploring all it can do with my Kindle except to note that it did immediately recognize when I connected to the USB port, and I did use it to convert a PDF doc and send it to the Kindle as a mobi file.

Of course -- I've been using "Most Recently Read" so long, I forgot there were other options.

Didn't know about typing a letter to go to the list of all titles/authors beginning with that letter. That's sweet!

You can see some examples on the Mobi2Mobi_Advanced wiki page (just ideas, people have different ways that work best for them). You can use Mobi2Mobi, Calibre or MobiPocket Creator (on non-DRMed books) to change the metadata.
Thanks, I'll check into that.
