You can create a directory structure on a Kobo and it will process supported ebooks in subdirectories but a Kobo stores ebook data in a database and the directory structure is not visible to you while reading. I do use a directory structure to make it easier for me to locate ebooks when connected to a computer.
Personally, I would recommend using Calibre to manage your Kobo reader. It makes creating/managing collections much easier. With DavidFor's Kobo Utilities plugin, it also makes backing up the database a matter of a few clicks.
OTOH, I do not use collections. I do use series and use Kobo's search to locate books by title, author or series. I haven't tried collections for a while but quite a few firmware revisions back, collections slowed down when you had many of them.
