I got a moment so I checked that, and yes, I have tried that before.
Like I said with my earlier reply, it is just as convoluted as the other method, perhaps even worse.

I have 11 pages of collections and 53 pages of ebooks.

So either I have to select an ebook, usually on page 11, then add it to a collection on one of those 10/11 pages, then go back to the 11th page for the next ebook to add to another or same collection, etc. Lot of clicks.

Or I go to the collection, provided I want all new ebooks in that collection, select the add/remove option, then browse amongst those 53 pages for the ebooks to add to the collection. Lot of clicks again.

Sure, I could do a search probably, but that again would be a significant muck around.

What should happen, that would often make the process easier, is that the device remembers where you started and where you finished, and returns to those locations each time, as from those places you may need to do very little more clicking ... usually.

So in other words, after adding an ebook to a collection, it takes me back to Page 11. Then I select another ebook, choose to add it to a collection again, and I am taken back to the page of the last collection I added to.

In reality though, I am usually adding an ebook to a folder with the author name, so having an 'Add to Author Name Collection' option would make it all much more sensible, with far less clicking, and I truly can't believe they don't have that ... at least on my models.
