The hardest part of implementing folders would be, IMO, deciding how to decide which folder to place a book in. Implementing 'freeform' folders, where the user creates the folder, names it, then assigns the books to it manually is harder than you'd think because there's nothing 'in the book' that tells the software which folder it belongs in. (Trying to describe this in non-technical terms.)

To implement a 'fixed' folder arrangement the hardest part, IMO, would be deciding how the books should be categorized-by title, author, or what? And, of course, no two people can agree on the best method. I suspect that's the real problem at Amazon-that & not seeing sufficient demand for it. (Note: I said 'seeing' sufficient demand. Or maybe I should say 'hearing' sufficient demand. If Amazon actually is listening to feedback about the Kindle I think it'll be a first in my experience with them.)
