Would one of you nice kind gents be so good as to take a few screenshots/grabs/photos of how the menu system operates with a lot of books? Or point me in the direction of a handy url if screenshots already exist. I have folders on my Iliad separated by author so that's probably the way I'm going to browse most of the time.

I'm guessing I can provide enough metadata for each book via Calibre that the reader knows where everything is supposed to go.

TIA.
If thats how you like to browse i suggest setting your 505 up like I have.
In calibre I give all of my Terry Pratchett books the same 'series/collection' name in this case "Pratchett, Terry" then when in my 505 i browse by collection and I can then see all of the authors listed in name order. even better if i then use calibre to number them e.g give the authors first book number 1 in that collection, the books are also then in order.
