I read differently than you and usually know what I want. Even with some crazy number of books on my Kobo, if you're looking for a single book it's just as if I had only a hundred.
Search is pretty fast on the Kindle as well. Caveat, I read a ton of fanfics (a lot of them in-progress) and remembering titles and authors (usernames) for those is very difficult.

Thing is if I have internet (that includes hotspot on the phone), I already have ready access to my entire library via Calibre PHP server + ereader browser. I can just download books as needed so storing all my books on the ereader is unnecessary. Downloading on-demand is actually preferable so I have the latest updated versions and so new fics are on the top of the list when sorted by recent.

It's when I don't have internet that I need to have good library management directly on the device. My old PRS-350 with hierarchical tags via PRS Plus custom firmware was my favorite library management-wise. Alas, lack of front light ended up being a major deal breaker.
