I don't think so. I have shelves/collections for:
- Genres -> Tags
- Challenges: Posible Options for future reads
- Init of series: Divided too by genres
- Series -> Books I want to keep out of genres.
If I want to have the same organization, I need a book in three different folders. And no, this doesn't require a big effort of maintenance, only a bit of programming in calibre. And when I want to change a book from a shelve to other, or I want to remove a book from a shelve, I only have to mark some info in calibre GUI, and the changes will be done the next time I connect the ereader to calibre without having to move books or deleting duplicates copies. Not a normal case? It's the same, it's mine, so I need something that a file browser doesn't give me without duplicating books.
And anthologies, with novellas in different series (something quite normal), how would you include then in all the series if you like.
