I use folders (based on Authors) on my Cybook GEN 3 and Opus too, because it is the only way to organize it (remember when there was no folder navigation on the GEN 3).

But on the PRS350 you don't need folders to access your books, and you don't need collections either!
Selection can be made by author, by date, by last read, by book name and by file name, with an index on the rigth margin.
And there are no tags to set right.
The reader exploits the meta information in the epub file (in the opf file). You can edit this information if necessary (I made some tests with Sigil).
If the epub file is well formatted you don't have to do anything and you can move the epub file on the device with your favorite explorer (windows, linux, mac...).

In short: with epub files correctly formatted you can move the files to the reader and access the books very easily, without any software from Sony (you don't need Calibre either) and without collections.
