I am not a big Kobo fan, but I must point out that the shelves/collections behave almost identically sorting wise as those on Sony readers. IMO they are better than the kindle ones (my mothers kindle three where they reorder themselves in a strange manner(to me)). Neither have a built in function to sort by language and I would have a hard time searching for a Japanese name on my desktop, laptop or tablet without changing the keyboard layout. I know I could do it if I really tried, but it is not a standard function normally. On the Kobo you can change the language, so I assume it could be done as well. The Sony readers will not allow you to open the books from the SD card directly and neither will the kindle as it doesn't have and SD card.

There are readers with these functionalities but many (the most commonly sold in North America) don't.

As meeera said, it is much easier to manage your collections using calibre and this will make it easier to navigate on your Glo. Your choice of course, but I cannot imagine entering 30 pages of Agatha Christie books and short stories into collection(s) one at a time on the Kobo or any other reader.
