This also avoids the problem of a book that belongs in multiple of your second-level folders, like Children's Romance or Historical Biography.
I know that's possible. Caveat is that would create too many first level collections to wade through if the goal is storing my entire library on the device. I already do something similar but use e.g. "Romance, Romance-Historical", "Romance, Romance-Modern" for sorting purposes. (Note, I do want support for nested collections, not simply folder structure.)

In terms of storage space, there's already more than enough room for my library even with just 4GB (barring graphic novels). It's library management that's the sticking point. That's why right now, I only store less than a few hundred titles on my ereader - to keep both the number of collections and number of titles in a collection manageable/browsable.
