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.
Nook has "Collections" but not as sophisticated as Sony. It is definitely something that B&N should improve. As many have said its not rocket science you just need to have it as a development priority and so far they have not.
