In addition to storing non-DRM ebook files (mobi, ePub, etc), Calibre will store "empty" ebooks. These are database entries without an actual ebook -- just the metadata. This is perfect for free (or any) Amazon ebooks because you can sort your books by Title, author, genre, and a dozen other fields. Calibre has a "Download Metadata" button that will capture all the book's details automatically from the Amazon website (and other places). Even the book's cover is stored in Calibre and displayed with the metadata. If you store actual Kindle format ebooks in Calibre (like mobi) Calibre will transfer the ebook to your Kindle when you connect the Kindle to your computer. Calibre runs on Windows, Mac, and Linux. Calibre is widely used. The website is http://calibre-ebook.com/ Another approach is to use the free, open source, ebook database program called Calibre.
