After so many pages ( I forget maybe 200 or 300) you come to a point where you have to click on "more" to continue further then wait for those to load. No way to jump directly to that point. I've NEVER seen such a buggy, slow web design. The best you can say is that once it's done if at the website you sort by newest the new books you need to add to collections will all be at the top and you can avoid all the excruciatingly slow scrolling.

I agree, the website itself and how they now list the books is horrible. I don't like the infinity scroll. But we couldn't even see collections online before. When in the collection view, its not as many pages.
I have 47 collections and over 3000 books, so I know what a pain it can be at times. I try not to have to go much in the book view, going down to certain time points. The collection view is fine. What I try to do is add anything new to collections fairly often, so I don't have to go past the first page. Once they are in collections, they are easier to find. Once I read the book I manage its collections from my kindle though. The last collection it goes into in its life span is "read". I have 2 "read" collections as my first got too large. I read a lot.
But yeah, that scrolling is excruciating. I remember when it was actual paging, not this infinity stuff. At least then one could just click on a next page.
In those days I did a lot of pruning, which required to do through every single page. I don't do that anymore now. Unless I come across something by accident, I am not torturing myself with that scroll again. I have a collection I call "black hole". Those are the books I am not sure if i need to keep or just delete all together. That narrows it down, now that everything is in its proper collections.
I can't even imagine those folks that have like 10000 or more books.
