Using CC you have access to most all of the features for locating your books as you do in calibre. Grouping using Author, Title, Series, Ratings, Publisher or any custom column and Sorting by multiple fields. Plus use the same searches you use in calibre to locate a particular book.
I have my entire library on my Nexus because I can and it provides a nice backup of all of my books.

ahh
If only it were Eink. LCD/LED screens do not hurt my eyes but I far prefer reading on EINK screens. When I bought my first tablet I read two books immediately using the tablet. Didn't hurt, wasn't annoying, but when I went back to my old PRS-600 I breathed a sigh of relief. The book looked much better on the tablet, but I was vastly more comfortable with the ereader.
I've yet to try out Calibre Companion, but it is on my todo list. Maybe I can use it just for browsing
Overall I am pretty comfortable browsing with 2,000 or so books on the Sony as long as I don't have too many types of collections. I can have authors, or I can have series, but if I have both it seems confusing. Either way I can generally select a book in a minute or two.
