I use Calibre to manage my ebooks library and while I love the Kindle app for actually reading on my iPad the lack of any kind of collection or organizing facility is driving me crazy. I got my wife a Kindle Touch for Christmas (which she hates but that's a whole other story) and was impressed by the ability to add collections -- that's all the app in the iPad really needs, but I suspect they'll never add it.

So... are there any alternative readers out there that have this? Or, to put it another way, is there anything better for reading on the iPad? I definitely don't want to give up the ability to choose my font size (that's key for these old eyes) and whatever I choose has to have the ability to take what I can output from Calibre, but beyond that I really don't care as long as it can handle collections reasonably. Or at this stage are we still stuck with Kindle?
