Well, I am sure everyone has a pet peeve. Mine involve the management of more than 300 documents now present on my Kindle. It seems a daunting task. I have many documents written by the same author, but invariably they have different formatting or spelling, so they don't sort out in the correct place. Also, it would be really nice if there was some way to sort by genre. I have so many different genres that it is very hard to keep it all straight. Wouldn't it be nice if Amazon developed an application for the Kindle that would run on a PC or Mac and allow the user to fine tune these fields... similar to the way iTunes can do for mp3's. And, Amazon could do alot better than just 3 sort options, for example, I would love to have a sort like this: genre->author->most recent... or genre->author->title->version. Yes, I think that lots of other fields, like "version", would be great additions. I often find texts that have multiple versions, even relatively modern stuff, and I am accumulating a fair amount of stuff that is broken down in multiple documents, so a chapter or division indicator of some sort would be nice -- kind of like "track#" for mp3's. And it would be excellent, if the Kindle would let you assign these types of attributes to .txt files also, so they could be kept track of more easily too.
I don't want much... but this stuff seems essential to me. Otherwise folks are going to go batty trying to keep stuff organized on even bigger memory devices. Just imagine trying to keep track of all the stuff on your iPod with just 3 attributes to sort them by!?
