Thank you zelda_pinwheel 05-28-2009, 01:45 PM i use calibre (free library management, conversion, and rss feed aggregator tool) to make collections. add the books to the calibre library, then in library view add either a tag or a series name (if it's a series, you can add the series number as well). when you send the books to your sony, it will automatically create a collection for each tag and series you've added, and you can see the books under the "collections" view. zelda_pinwheel 05-28-2009, 01:51 PM i just noticed you're new to the forum helen, so let me add to my previous post : first, welcome ! take a look around, don't hesitate to ask questions. second : calibre has its own forum here (http://www.mobileread.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=166) where you can find lots of good tips. and once you've added your books, you can edit the meta data (adding tags, etc.) by selecting the book in the library view and typing "e".

The collection can then be sync'd or dragged to the Reader and will show up in the Collections menu. The manual probably has a better explanation.
