I could simulate this on the PB740 by using the "Folder" method (PB740 offers a folder view). I think it would even be possible to write a kind of function within Calibre that sends books into folders on the device based on the user defined column "collections".
If you want to organise by folder, you can use the save template. The default is to create a folder for each author, but, you can change this to anything else.

But in the end this all would be not the same functionality as given by a device driver that supports this reader as good as on the Aura HD.
To do that requires two things. Firstly, the collections on the device must be in a place that is accessible. They are on the Kobo, but, not on most of the other devices. Then you need someone capable of coding the plugin, or willing to learn. Having access to the device is pretty much mandatory to do this.
