I guess it's just because I spent a couple of hours organizing my books into fifteen or so categories that I felt defined most of the 300+ books presently in my Kindle's collection. (Many or most of these books had been transferred to Kindle's main memory from recent versions of Calibre.)

Now, I realize that many of the books have a tremendous number of tags within the Calibre's downloaded metadata.

I guess I'm trying to avoid having to recreate all those folders in Calibre (as tags or whatever) and then having to select all 300+ books again and assign them to the proper groups within Calibre in order to get them arranged (again) on the Kindle.

I'm probably misunderstanding something but I don't want to end up with groupings based upon tags I hadn't originally created. (For example, a book on the Civil War might have tags such as history, 1861-1865, Union, Confederacy, War Between The States, states rights etc. I just want to put the book into my simple folder.)

So, if this isn't an option, can you tell me what my Kindle will look like after I've connected to Calibre?
