I could get this functionality by converting my books to epub, but I am becoming fond of XRAY functionality and frequently use the Kindle dictionaries.
I hope this is possible and that the suggestion strikes some developer's fancy. I do know that over the years many have expressed strong interest in organizing books in folders on Kindles.

I would like to second @j.p.s suggestion to modify Koreader or CoolReader to open AZW* files with the native reader.
I've been using collections and LibrarianSync to work around the limitations of the native book list browser. My problem is exacerbated by the fact that I read in 3 different languages (I rely heavily on Kindle dictionaries and vocabulary builder). So ideally I organize by language, then by genre and so forth. Without hierarchical structure, my list of collections and lists of books inside collections quickly grow out of control.
There are quite a few talented developers here. The first 2 that come to my mind are NiLuJe for Koreader or sergeyvl12 for CoolReader.
@NiLuJe and @sergeyvl12 : what would be the best way to BEG you to do this?
