Is this a change only for the ereaders? Thanks.

Collections were added (originally as shelves) years back on the Kobo ereaders when firmware 2.0.0 was released. Calibre and the KoboTouch driver added support for shelves/collections in calibre 0.9.1 back in 2012 (it's been a few years but the Wiki agrees with my memory
).
Most of the arguments now come down to the directory structurers vs. the searchers as to which is the best way to go. I'm rather firmly on the search side since I find it too clumsy to page through pages of collections looking for a book. Possibly Kobo will make collections searchable in a future firmware update but in the meantime, life is too short to browse through pages of collections in the hopes of spotting one that will have a book you want to read.
