This means that even if a book is in a collection it will appear in the general pool. When I download new books I have to hunt through the ones already on board to find the new ones and add them to a collection.
Managing your ebooks and collections with Calibre is, in my opinion, the simplest and most robust way to do this. A quick click on the collections column will then show you books not in any collection, if that's something you're inclined to do.

It also means you have a backup of all your books and their collections, so that restoration in the case of a broken/stolen/upgraded/factory-reset device is almost trivial. I don't know if there are 7" readers about, but Kobo Aura HD or H2O are 6.8".

If you are wedded to a hierarchical folder structure, I think you can do that with the alternative readers; but I encourage you to find out how collections work first.
