Oh, and seeing all books in a series by a certain author isn't even possible...

There are pros and cons, as with so many things in life
.
The benefits of folders is that they can be nested.
The benefit of collections (which are really tags, of course) is that you can apply multiple tags to the same file without having to have multiple copies of the same book on the device. Eg, you can tag a book by its author, by its genre, and so on. I might tag Isaac Asimov's "The Caves of Steel" with "Asimov, Isaac", "Mystery", and "SF", for example, and then it would show up in all three collections.
