Being able to browse through a listing of all the "Mystery" ebooks I have on hand, or all the "SciFi", or all the "Fantasy", or all the "PolyTicks", or all the "Comedy", or all the ebooks in any of over 50 catagories, is not something that you can replace with a search function.

No, but if you use Calibre you could easily set up the shelves function, edit the metadata in bulk to add a "Mystery" tag to all of your mysteries merely by selecting them all together and voila. You can also add more than one tag per book and have the titles appear on multiple shelves if you would like multiple genre tags per title, or shelves based on "Author" as well as genre shelves...
Granted, this will not speed up the firmware in it's glacial processing of new books. I cannot fathom why it is so slow unless there is some very sloppy database programming or far too much data is being unnecessarily stored and manipulated per title -like moving data around rather than pointers, etc.
PS. Could you stop using hard breaks in your posts? The nearly blank lines with only a few words following each post line are driving me nuts like a badly formatted ebook.
