I use collection to put series in order and to keep track of my library books and other genres separated. For example, I have a bunch of Temperance Brennan books. So I made a collection called Kathy Reichs (the author) and put the series in order inside the collection. Then I can just read them in order. Originally, I kept having to go to the author's site to figure out which order the books went in and then finding that book. I remember thinking how useless the alphabetical system was (and I think it alpha by author's first name too-- what's up with that??). I don't do that to my paper book! I also made a folder of "chick lit" to keep my various titles of that genre, a pile of "exerpts/free/bargain books" to put the books I downloaded for free from sony connect, or for just $1 to try them out. So some are by genre, some are by circumstance and some are by author (if I have an entire collection). The most used collection, however, is the one titled "library books." I move all my library books in there. They are in order so I can make sure to get to them before they expire. I was so thrilled to discover the collections option. I only use that to find books.
Neat cover- great idea! I haven't read a book in the bath yet. Since the last time I took a bath was when I was in labor with child #3 (who is over 5yo), I doubt I'll do it soon, but I certainly may take the sony to the beach....
