My suggestion: Put calibre on your computer and let that program manage your collection. Use your Reader to manage your interest in what you're thinking about reading.

Problem with that approach is still having to make reading choices before leaving calibre... I make my reading choices when I've finished current book(s) therefore want a pocket library so that my choices are from all my ebooks. It doesn't matter that I am unlikely to read everything I have, I don't care... I just want the choice of everything I can get that I might want to read, when I want to choose rather than being constrained to choosing by not having titles on the reader - hence one of the main reasons some people want to have thousands of books on their reader - choice when you want to choose rather than choice before you want to choose...
