This unfortunately did not work as no options popped up. I also tried the delete collections button and all the collection were greyed out (I should say greyer than normal). The only collections the T1 would allow me to delete were the collections I manually created on the device itself, not any of the ones created using the Sony software.

The only way I could remove the collections was to format the internal memory. I now copy the books over to the reader with it set for file transfer using Windows Explorer and then manually create collections on the device itself.

Yep! That was my experience! How you delete collections depends entirely on how you got them on your reader. If you synced with the Sony software on your computer, you can't delete them on the reader. If you made them manually, you can.

After I ended up formatting my device, I found by playing that you can sync the collection using the software by checking which one you wanted. Let it sync and then when it was finished syncing uncheck it and it'll remove the collection. I found it to be a major PITA. Unless you want every single book inside that specific collection on your reader - syncing is NOT the way to go.
