I find the PB pretty intuitive to use but I have not yet found the ideal way to organise my books.

I also can't see how to shuffle my books around and put them in the file I want. It is disappointing that the manual doesn't help with this. Must I do this by connecting the PB to the PC?

Are you sorting your books with the folders or with the metadatas in the library of your device ?
- in the first case, you should set up a template in the Device configuration in Calibre. As you want to organise your books by genre (tags in Calibre), it could be something like this :
Code:
{tags}/{authors}/{series}{series_index:0>2s| - | - }{title}
- in the second case, you can choose the following options in the menu of the PB library :
- Group by "Genre"
- Sort by "Book titles"
It will work if you have previously filled in the tags in Calibre for each book.

I would appreciate any help on either of these issues.

As I buy books from several shops, I haven't set up any accounts on the device. It is easier, imho, to buy the books from a computer and to load them with Calibre on the PB lux.
