My current system is to have five collections named "one star" etc. After reading a book, I place it in the desired collection, and then later add the rating to Calibre. This is obviously very cumbersome. Especially when you have to wade through the entire library, just to select the book so you can add it to the collection.
This is one of the main reasons why I don't like collections. Why can't you add a book to a collection while inside the book? In the Nook, there's a "more" area that only goes to a page with the book's details. I'd like to see some notes management capabilities, the option to add to a collection and add tags. Basic stuff that would make things more usable imo.
There isn't even a search feature inside collections. Are my expectations too much? I don't know how people with hundreds of books cope. As my library grows, I'm getting frustrated by the limitations of the Nook and ereaders generally.
I didn't want to root my Nook, but I will if I can find better software. If anyone can recommend an app that would fill these needs, I'd be grateful.
