I thought you said you own a nook, surely you would have known about the feature. Just because they don't call it "Collections" doesn't mean they don't have it

Again it's called "My Shelves" It's very well laid out on the the nook color and the Nook STR.

For example on mine I've created "OnDeck" "Horror/Thiller" "Freebies" "Humor" "Instructional" etc etc.
The collection in Sony is different from shelves in Nook. A book can go into different collections. You can choose a book to go into Nonfiction and Finance for example.

Also, the collections can be tied in with tags and be automated. For example, I bought a finance book and the tag set by the publisher is Finance, so a Finance collection is started and the book went into the Finance collection. This can be good or bad depending on your view. You can remove the book from the collection of course.

But the cool thing that Anamardoll is taking about is that since it's automatic, you can automatically organize your books. For example, in Calibre you tag a book as Nonfiction and Sports. A Nonfiction collection already exist but not Sports. When you import, the book will be put into Nonfiction and a newly created Sports collection.

I believe in Nook you have to move the books manually into a shelf , and only one shelf per book.
