Kindle is my main E-reader, and I realized that once I had more than a screenful of books on my home page, I was relying on calibre to explore my collection. What I really wanted was an encapsulated snapshot of my calibre collection, but on the Kindle, so I could browse titles, descriptions, covers, etc.
Amazon may or may not release a firmware update with folders, but IMHO the only thing that's really missing from the Catalog is the ability to jump straight from a catalog description to the actual book. I'm still hoping that will be possible, maybe when the KDK is released. In the meantime, you can type the name of the book in the search field, toggle right twice to search 'My Items', then jump to the book. Since I use the catalog as my primary means of browsing my Kindle, I leave the Home page set to 'Subscriptions' (the catalog shows up as a periodical on the Kindle). Now I have a nice, uncluttered Home page with today's papers and catalog interface to my books.
Make sense?
