You know, I've owned three Sony devices (prs-505, prs-300, prs-600) and never really used collections on those because they didn't let you maintain collections on the device. For me personally, it just wasn't worth the effort.
My prs-600 does offer a cover art view. I'd like to use the cover art view, I really would, but I never do because it's just too slow loading images. And despite its lack of functionality, I prefer my plain vanilla prs-300 over my prs-600 because of screen clarity.
It would be great if they all had more sophisticated software, allowing them to be a complete library management tool. But I also realize e-ink is a relatively new technology, still in its infancy. Other than the prs-600, none of my previous e-ink devices have had search capabilities, dictionary lookups, highlighting, or note-taking. None of them had the ability to change to a sans serif font, or offered wifi and syncing locations across devices. At this point, I'm just glad my K3 has the capabilities it has, especially the functions that enhance my reading experience.
