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.

Thanks - it's always interesting to read how other people use their devices.
I don't use collections at all; I find it easier to use the "jump to a point in the library" facility of the home screen to get to a particular author, but what works for you is obviously the important thing. I have considerably more books on my device than you do (currently 1874 books on 235 pages of the library), and this method works very well for me. I use a Calibre plugboard to prefix titles with a series name and number to arrange books correctly in series order.
One small point, BTW: collections are not "folders by another name". Collections are tags, not folders. The primary difference being that a book can be a member of multiple collection, while only a single copy of it will be present on the device.
