Format-wise, I've changed them all to ePubs thru Calibre.
So my question is: What reader would best support LOTS of collections (because I hate my library to be disorganized, it drives me crazy), be at least 6" (because my eyes are getting old LOL) and have a decent screen?
Thank you in advance for your suggestions ...

All my Sony readers have the problem you mention.
Even without any changes, when starting Sony 900 takes minutes to check the library.
That's why I mainly keep it in standby.
If you want to organise large numbers of books, I wouldn't use collections.
I'd go for readers with folder view.
iRex 800 for example can show the content of the entire library in a single book view. Can be endless rows, but you don't have to care about the folder where the respective book might be hidden.
In addition, you can use the folder view. Similar to Windows Explorer.
Only downside I'm aware of: In collections, you can have the very same book more than once. For example under "thrillers" and under "James Patterson". That's just 2 links, not twice the book, of course.
Features as described above can be found (at least) on:
Cybook Opus and Cybook Gen3
iRex 800 and iRex 1000
BeBook Neo/Onyx Boox
PocketBooks
