I didn't understand a word of that kacir, but it sure sounded impressive.

I haven't delved in to Calibre yet, though I'm sure it's a wonderful tool and I'll get around to using it someday.

I do use collections on my 505. I keep a lot of books on my Reader so that I don't need to keep connecting it to my computer to add, delete and move things all the time. I keep collections in like manner to everyone else. I have collections for biography/autobiography, American History, Ancient History, general history, letters/memoirs, mystery, and many other categories as well as by author and series. It helps immensely in browsing for what I might want to read next and makes the search less tedious.

I do still wish that the Reader supported real directories, though, and the ability to move a title from one directory folder to another right on the Reader itself. I also wish that when you have collections on a memory card in the Reader, they wouldn't disappear when the card is removed and re-inserted (as they do now.) That's not really such a big deal though. I just don't remove the card.
