Ebook-reader with good management skills

Hello,

for years I have been very happy using iBooks on my iPad. Which had never problems displaying all epubs I produced with Calibre.
Having about 1000 ebooks might not be much for the forum participants here - but needs managing.

I seldom look for a ebook using title or author, my typical question is: "what books do I have concerning topic X". So I organized my ebooks within iBooks in collections according to topic.
Which is a feature most ebook-reades seem to have.
BUT: Within the old iBooks-version I could MOVE the ebooks from the general booklist into these collections. So the general booklist contained only the ebooks which where freshly imported and not yet sorted into a collection.

Apple now killed this feature. You still can define collections in the new iBooks-version, but ebooks put into a collection still remain in the general book list. Which therefore is a heap of a thousand files where I cannot see what has already been sorted. Nearly unusable for me now.


So I need a new Ebook-reader which supports management of a large number of ebooks. Besides that I don't need many functions or bells and whistles. Just that all epubs are displayed (I tried Bluefire and PocketBook which could not do that).

Marvin seemed to be a solution, but it is no longer developed and the comments in the AppStore complain massively that dropbox etc. do not work properly.


So I would be grateful for any help.
