To my mind at least, the whole idea of Collections is to allow faster easier browsing. To get to where you want without having to wade through heaps.

You can only achieve so much, with one level of Collections. So what we should really have, is a second level ... or if you like - Sub Collections.

For instance, you could have a main Collection called Fantasy, and sub collections within that based on the name of an author, where you have more than one book by an author. Individual books can remain in the root of the main Collection, or be put in a sub collection called Others etc.

Another alternative, would be to have an author as a main Collection, and sub collections within that based on series name.

Having that second level of Collections, makes things far more flexible, and reduces what you need to wade through, significantly more.

I've gotten to the point now, where I don't download many of my purchases to my devices, because it just means too much to wade through, certainly in some categories. It would be far easier, if I could split things up within a Category (Collection), with Author name being an obvious way to do so.

I truly hate things being all mixed up and all over the place. Things need to be organized.

And when I am deciding on a book to read, I often overlook what is not on a device, because it is just far more simple to do so. So the current state of affairs isn't doing many of the authors I have, any favors .... certainly as far as reading them, liking them and then buying more by them.
