I've got a Nook Tablet right now - finding, though, that the more books I get, the more I hate its functionality. There are over 300 books in my library right now and try as I may, I just can't organize them in a way that is easy to manage.

I both buy and download my books. It's nice that the purchased ones show up at the top of my library and are labeled as "New". But as for the ones I download (and import through Calibre just fyi), those get added into the mix of existing books and it's become increasingly difficult to separate the read from the unread. Even when I sort by "date added" on my Nook, for whatever reason some things that should be at the top, end up at the very bottom. Lots of scrolling. Lots of annoyance.

Tried to solve the confusion by making shelves ... but that's a pain in itself. Lots of tapping and scrolling. Thought creating shelves for all my book series would be helpful, but because I've got a shizload of books, it made for a shizload of shelves. My Unread shelf is obviously at the bottom so even MORE scrolling.

Tried to solve THAT problem by creating a shortcut of the Unread shelf to my home screen. Turns out my Nook doesn't even have that capability.

Is it too much to ask that an ebook library be capable of easily labeling books read and unread? Like email! You get it, it's unread. You open it, it's read. You want to mark it as unread again even after you've opened it, two clicks away and BOOM - done.

What are my options here?!
