The library system on the Kobo is not that practical. No folders or subfolders. A large number of books just becomes too unwieldy to navigate.

So my advice is to store your main book collection on your computer and add and delete small numbers of books on your Kobo as you go along.
Since I had trouble with the WiFi and putting books on over USB either manually(CLI) or with a couple versions of calibre(they'd disappear), I had taken to removing my uSD(w/SD adapter) and putting them on the uSD manually... (This was all under Ubuntu 10.04 x86-64, new desktop for Touch is working...)

I haven't tried sideloading any new books yet as I just removed the uSD from the WiFi and put it into the Touch after registering it...
