Each has pros and cons. Personally I prefer "real" folders.

I am not sure how it works on Kindles, but the biggest issue with collections that I have with my wife's Sony PRS-505 is that while a book can be in multiple collections, you can't have collections of collections.
Before my Jetbook broke, I basically had everything divided up into a two tier system; The top level was by genre -- Science Fiction, Historical Fiction, Fantasy, Adventure, Classics, etc. Then under that, each genre had a different folder for every Author. I only wish the Jetbook would have allowed links as well... then books could have been in multiple folders without multiple copies
