Connect your device to your computer. Use it strictly as a harddrive and drag and drop the books you want on it to the proper folder. Disconnect the device and manually put those books into whatever collections you want. Then you can add or delete at whim. Syncing does NOT allow for any changes whatsoever to any collection you've made. You can't add books and you can't remove books from Synced collections.

It's a PITA but it appears to be the only way. If you want to use the reader software everytime you sync it will delete whats on the device and reload it with the select books you've chosen to sync it to on the software. It's just dum!
A much simpler way, is to simply not bother with the software. Use Wifi to access your Sony account and just download your previous purchases as needed. Any other materials can be side-loaded using a MicroSD card. I bought my reader at launch and have never used Reader for PC.
