So this is a limitation of a flat shelving system and it gets transferred to a collection system derived from folder structure.
That is far to limiting a classification for me. I largely read SciFi. But a lot of that is really a Thriller. Or maybe I should say a lot of Thrillers are also SciFi. Being able to put the books in both a "Thriller" and a "SciFi" shelf is what I want. And of course you will have the same author all over the place. There are plenty of authors who write in multiple genres. And multi-author series will just mess it up completely.
