I am loving my Kindle Paperwhite and finding a ton of free or 99cent books for it. I do not want to have so many books on my device that they get "lost" meaning I don't want to scroll through 20 pages to find a book I have not read, but I don't know or maybe don't necessarily want to remove read books from my device. Does that make sense.
So a couple simple questions -- how many books do you have on your device and what do you do with book once you have read them?

You can create folders and place your books in folders by alphabetical range. Press menu and select the Create New Collection option, then name it. I have Books A-B, Books C-F, Books G-L, Books M-S and Books U-Z. When I download a new book, I don't file into a folder. Once I have read a book, I then put it in the correct folder.

I tried that, but they are still showing up as I scroll. I though once I put them in a collection they would not be seen just under the Device tab.

That is odd because once I "Add to Collection..", they go to that location and are viewable only at that location.

Create your folders. Then click on each book and pick the folder to add it to. It will then not appear.
When I first started putting into folders I thought I would choose the folder and then scroll through my list of books and put lots into a folder at one time. The problem was that all books were visible and I had to scroll through them all.
I really wish folders could have sub folders.

This is what happens with mine, too, and I don't understand it. The books I've put into folders are in those folders, but the individual books ALSO show up in the scroll of all books. I cannot figure out why. |

I use folders for Genre. Once I've read a book, I add it to a folder called either "Done-Good" or "Done-Bad". Technically, I could just delete the ones that were bad, but I kinda want to keep track of those too so I don't keep buying the same bad authors.
Once you have them sorted into folders, make sure you are viewing your list by "collection". That option is near the top, on the right side (just below the 3 horizontal lines in the upper right corner. If you are viewing by author or title, you'll see everything, not sorted into folders. HTH!

I don't use folders. I keep all unread books on my Kindle and delete all read or DNF (did not finish) books.
I keep track of books read by year and date completed on Excel.
