I browse both my Kindles by Collections.
Much less to look at that way. And I get to to the ebook I want, much quicker.
Most of my collections are by Author Name.
There is no simpler or easier way ... certainly on the Kindles I have.
Plus, I set my Kindles up, and then leave them like that ... not a fan of changing settings all the time.

Collections are just folders by another name, and like for decent Media Players, they are much better to use than a long scrollable list, however you sort it. You just have to be smart with your folder and sub-folder names on a media player, and you can get everywhere quickly ... but alas I don't have the full facility for that on my ereaders.

Sure you could probably fiddle fart around and bring up a search and get there that way, but one mistype or a bad memory for names and you will wish you hadn't bothered.

As they say, simple is best .... (swipe swipe swipe) &or click click click.

All that said, I don't have a recent e-ink device to compare methods with. But even on my new Samsung Tablet, collections are quicker ... not so my Phone, which doesn't support collections with the Kindle App ... it is much more painful & slow with its large scrollable list.

The smaller the list the better, and collections make it smaller.

P.S. Don't mistake me though, only authors that have more than one ebook on my device, get their own folder/collection, all the rest go into a collection called Various. Short story collections also get their own folder - Collections. Some items appear in more than one collection.
