When using "send to kindle" feature (e.g. through Readability), is there any way to put the files on Kindle into some folder, not into main directory?

Usually I send some articles to read them later, but then they end up in main folder and there's a big mess. If they could be stored under some folder, e.g. "articles" that would be much cleaner. Any way to do so?

The equivalent in Kindle to folders is collections. Usually you can create this on the ebook reader yourself.

This Kindle help document https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=201733490 indicates that there is a cloud component to collections on later devices, but I don't know what this means for kindle apps.

For the Android Kindle app's main screen, when you keep holding down on the ebook title,a + option will appear which allows you to add to collections.

UPDATE: https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=201715640 "Note: Collections created on devices or apps that support Cloud Collections cannot be imported to devices and apps that do not support Cloud Collections. Any existing collections you’ve created on non-supported devices will not change and will not be available in the Cloud."

    Yes I know about collections, though the question is similar - is there a way to automatically add to specific collection? There's already a question on that, but without answer... so I did not include this part into question.

    And as adding to collection is more important - for grouping files "logically", I'd also like to keep files and folders clean "physically".

    This link might help https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=201715640 . I'm guessing the interface issue is that when something is stored in collections it also appears on your home screen. – idiotprogrammer Sep 04 '16 at 23:46

    Thanks, though it says about managing collections online, not mentioning either how to store sent file in specific folder or add to collection automatically... – sinnerinc Sep 06 '16 at 09:58

    calibre supports putting into a particular folder, is there similar functionality by mail? – best wishes Jul 18 '18 at 02:27
