BTW, off topic, every time I glance at your avatar I think you have a dog whose front half is one colour and the back another... and possibly a big backside - then I notice the backside has ears, an eye and nose and it all becomes clear  |
Hahaha! they are joined at the hip! they think they are brother and sister of the same mother! And depending on the one who's the backside (the cat?) yes it's big, much bigger than the dog!
Back on topic:
I can't add books to my collections as easily on the Sony device itself (when not using Calibre). When I long press a book, I get "open", Delete, Protect, Info". When I choose Collections, I have an icon at the top of the screen that allows me to add a collection but when I long press on my new collection, I get a message telling me to refer to the User Guide to get info on how to add content...no easy way to just put the book on a shelf right there and then.
On the Kobo, if I tap on Library, i get a pop-up that has "Books, news & magazines, previews, shelves".
If I select Books, and then tap the menu icon for a specific book, I get a pop-up that says "read now, view details, add to shelf, mark as finished, delete".
Tapping add to shelf gives me the list of existing shelves so that I can add the book to one shelf or several, all in one operation.
If from "Library" I select Shelves, I can add a new shelf, view the other existing shelves, and view the books that are on the shelves. This part is pretty much the same as on the Sony apart from the UI being slightly different.
It would be an improvement if Kobo added the ability to create a new shelf from within the Books instead of having to go to the Shelves menu as that would make the process even quicker.
I generally do the shelves for my Kobo using Calibre however. It's very quick and since everything I own gets put in there before being added to the readers I prefer to do it that way.
I may end up installing prs+ on the Sony but not until my warranty period is over...
