I do not yet use collections but would like to use the tags in calibre to become collections on the reader.

Just stop using the Sony Library to send books to or connect to your device and start using calibre exclusively. I allow calibre to automatically manage my collections from Tags and series too.
For me, this means that I disabled auto tagging during metadata downloads by going to Preferences - Plugins - Metadata download plugins and customizing each plugin by unchecking Download tags. This prevents getting 20 new tags for each book and allows me to manually choose the tags I want for each book. Some people prefer getting all of the tags downloaded.
Currently I have 301 books on my reader in 82 collections. Every book I have in a series is also in a genre too. So some books are in 2, 3 or 4 collections. That's how I do it.
