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. |
Now that I have a shiny new Kobo Clara HD in my hands, I can see how the Series feature works. Now I can remove any collections that simply bundled a series for me and use Collections for genre groupings. It's a bit self-evident, now that I think about it, but thank you for taking time to answer my question.
