You can put a book on more than one shelf as well. For example, Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell gets a "modern lit - british" shelf tag as well as a "fantasy" tag and an "award winner" tag.

I was debating a softroot before this most recent firmware update, but wanted to give B&N one more chance to allow me some organizational structure.
Now if only B&N had made life simple and used folders like JBL and many, many others. I'm sorry, but there is no way I am "shelving" my 1500 books using their built-in keyboard. It took less than 15 minutes using windows and the softroot library programmer really knows how to do this correctly. Too bad B&N are still clueless as to what we need.
