This depends on your reader. I bulk-create collections in Calibre and they transfer across seamlessly.

In some ways collections are more flexible, not less: they behave as tags, so a book can be in more than one collection. So a book of short stories, say, might be in all of my shortfiction, shortlist (to read first), and australian collections.
