I have 3 collections, titled _Novels, _Stories and _Misc. That's it. All novels go in _Novels, except for the one I'm currently reading, which stays on the home screen. _Stories has (duh) short stories and _Misc has everything else. That leaves my home screen with just my collections and my current book. Nice and simple.
On my laptop I have an ebook folder with a folder for every author. I can do a search for a title on the main folder and go right to any book, or just go to an author's folder to find his books. Again, nice and simple.
What makes this work for me on my Kindle is that I don't have a lot of books. My laptop is a storage device. My Kindle is just for reading. It has my current book, a few possible next books (that keeps changing) and a few short stories. That's it. Anything else isn't needed.
Doing it this way I can easily find anything I want. If it's a novel it's in _Novels and there are only a few pages of those. I can browse the entire collection quickly.
I'd really like the idea of having thousands of books on my Kindle. It would be satisfying and kind of neat. But it sure would make life more difficult.
