You two are sort of talking about different things. I use Calibre to set the metadata for a book, including tags. When Calibre sends that book to the Sony, it creates a collection for each tag of that book.
So suppose I send two Patterson books to the Sony. Don't Blink is tagged with "Murder-Mystery" and "Suspense." 1st to Die is tagged with "Murder-Mystery" and "Woman Detective." On the Sony, I would have a Collection called "Murder-Mystery" that contains both books, as well as a Collection for "Suspense" and one called "Woman Detective." There is only one copy of each book on the reader, even though each one appears in two Collections. The reader database keeps track of where the book is actually located on the reader.
The advantage is that I can have a book appear in lots of different places, but no matter where I select it, it starts where I left it and has all of the notes, bookmarks, etc. that I made. The disadvantage is that I can't narrow my search to only see Patterson books that match Suspense.
