But the number of metadata items the PRS understands (basically title, author, and collection) is so limited that, even if you can get 4,000 or whatever books on it, you're never going to be able to find what you want with any efficiency.:/

Just to address your two points referenced here. I've donated the cost of a new PRS-505 to the openinkpot guys. I'm patient. I'm not alone and I've worked to gain headway, its very important to me and sooner or later I'll get it. That's just me and I'm very very happy with it otherwise, make no mistake, I vastly prefer it over any other device. I would just enjoy it more. I plan on taking my 16 sd card and seeing how a 700 will handle it but I have no plans on buying one.
Point two. Take it from one who has done it, it's no problem finding what I need. If I want Horseclans, I got to R, for Robert.Adams-Horseclans, if it's an encyclopedia I'm looking for, I hit the Es. I have zero, repeat zero problem with the high number of books on there. I agree, that if they had automatic Collection generation of directories, that would be very useful, but there is no issue with accessing a large number of books, I certainly don't have any. I also don't bother with metadata, the organization I do is based on file name only.
