You'll find this setting if you go to the 'Metadata download plugin' section in the prefs->plugins.

Then, like I said above, you can wipe all the current tags in your Calibre library and apply the organization structure you devised within Calibre without fear of it getting re-organized on you.

So you can make Calibre work like you want it to (yay!), but it's gonna require you to essentially re-do in Calibre what you already did manually on the reader.
That's kind of what I figured, Stinger. And having done it once already, I'm hoping that Kovid and company will find a way to continue sending a book to Kindle's main memory without any additional actions being taken unless desired. (Such as by deselecting options.)

Otherwise, it will be a lot less work (time-wise) to just send the book to my desktop and drag it into the documents folder within Kindle.

Many thanks for your input and thoughts.
