@Catsnkites, the Kindle can add books from the book selection (long-tap in list/cover view) to collections, it will pop up a list of your collections and you can check which ones the book should be in.

A Kobo will do that as well. You can select a book and then list the collections you want it in. Or you can select a collection and list the books you want to add. When doing the latter, you can doa search for the books rather than just pick them from a list.

When sorted by collections, your book list will first list collections, then any non-collected books; in Recent/Title/Author sort mode, it will list collections together with your full library list.

On a Kobo, collections is a separate list. Which is sortable by name, number of books and date created. The main library list has all books. There isn't a way to exclude books that are already in collections. meeera's suggestion is the best way to find new unshelved books.

That being said, the Kobo still has far better collections support, without using unofficial hacks. The Jailbreak + Collections Manager kindlet + patched Kindle Collections plugin lets calibre make collections for you, and it does support subfolder collections FWIW, but it kinda requires doing all those things....

Am I allowed to say that I think the calibre support for collections on the Kobo devices is excellent?
