After listening to Ian Freed's, Amazon’s vice president for Kindle, interview on The Kindle Chronicles, I have a suggestion which I made to Amazon. Ian was extremely hesitant when asked about folders and suggested that they have not been implemented because they have to make them easy and simple for the non-techy users. Following was my emailed suggestion to Amazon.
-----------------------------------
To make folders easy for both technical and non-technical users. How about a very short list of default folders with one custom folder?
Samples
Read
Un-Read
Periodicals
Personal
When reading a book or in Content Manager, users could move to any folder and/or delete. Using Show and Sort would allow viewing of any of the folders and include and All category. Items emailed to the Kindle would appear in Personal but could be moved elsewhere.
------------------------------------
What do you think? This would fulfill most of my personal folder needs while utilizing the K.I.S.S. theory.
