K3 Legacy Organization

Okay, I have a Sony PRS-505 and I am about to purchase a K3. My question is, how good is the Kindle organization of a non DRM legacy library? I have had the Sony for years now. Okay more than 2 anyway, and I love the collections and the way Sony allows me to organize my library using Calibre. I had bought a Nook and took it back due to the totally inadequate legacy library organization. I am attracted to the K3 by the clarity of the display and the page turn speed. I have to admit after seeing the demo model in the store and holding it the weight is now a consideration, but the demo mode only shows the display quality in my opinion.

So how good is the library organization? Is it only good for the books purchased off Amazon like the Nook is for B&N? Or will I be happily able to find the books I want, when I want? I have a 1500+ book collection and typically keep 500-800 books on my Sony. I am definitely a I'm in the mood to read this author or that genre person, that is why I keep so many books on my reader. I also drive a truck and bringing out my computer to load books is a pain.

So help me out here, I am ready to drink the Kindle Kool-Aid if Kindle can do this well.

Thanks as always.
