You walk into a store, head for the main genre you want and then, if it's a good bookstore, the sub-genre before you search for the author or title. Ditto pretty much for a website.
The bookshelves/collections were a step in the right direction but then they shot themselves in the foot by not letting you work on them from a computer and upload to the device. Sony being the intelligent exception. Plus it's still only two-level sorting that doesn't come close to being truly useful.
I wonder when the ebook device makers are going to realize that their true target audience is made up of fairly hardcore readers who own more than 10 books at a time?

+1, and nice analogy. It's definitely true that MY physical library isn't sorted simply by alphabet.
