After I add the tags, I can export the files from calibre to the SD card. My question is: after I insert the SD card to the Sony reader, how to tell the Sony Reader to creat collections using the tags? I don't like to use the Sony Reader Library because I use Linux and there is no Sony Reader Library for Linux. Thank you!
If you use Calibre you can make your life very easy:
  1. go to Preferences - Sending books to device. In the box labelled Metadata management set it to Automatic management
  2. go to Preferences - Plugins - Device Interface - Sony - Customize. Then find the box with a long label starting 'Comma separated list of metadata...'. The default is series, tags. Change it to just tags if that's what you'd prefer.
  3. Connect your device to Calibre, let it do its stuff then disconnect. All the Collections should be created and kept in-synch every time you connect.

Note: This option is not compatible with you also trying to create/maintain Collections manually on your Sony.
