You can only get one level of collections (so a (sub)collection of "Thrillers" under "Fiction" is not possible).
Yes, the collections are made from the first level directory within the "Books" directory. Calibres default save template means that there will be a collection for each author. I'm currently using:

Code:
{#kobobookshelves}/{author_sort} - {series}{series_index:0>2s| - | - }{title}
Where #kobobookshelves is a custom column I maintain for fairly random collections. I should sort out a better set of collections, but I'm not using it enough to worry me to much.
