But let's remember: Folders are there already, supported by the Kindle Operating System: Unix directories.
And I can use them right now.
In fact I have subfolders under the "documents" directory on my KindleDX, like "documents/books" and "documents/PDF". Even one more level down like "documents/PDF/Redbooks" and I have put my books and pdfs into those.
It's just that the Kindle *DISPLAYS* them all in a "flat" sequence.
So an important part of folder support is inherently there, already.
The display function *COULD* then work with "logical folders" and symbolic links. That way you could have have one book in several folders. But that's speculation...
