Collections actually make it harder to find books. You have to somehow know what collections the book is in. And you have to spend all of the time to organize. With 10000 books? And you have to navigate to the collection, and then navigate within the collection, all just to find the book. And the collections you make will be of no use to someone else.
If you recall in the early days of the Internet, Yahoo was all the rage because they organized the web into categories. There was no way to search. But which category is the page in? Good luck figuring it out. And it required teams of people to do the organizing, and it could not keep up with the proliferation of pages.
Finding things on the web with Search is what everyone does now, and nobody bothers to organize the web into categories. And that is also the most efficient way to find a book among 10000 of them.
Now, maybe it would be nice if I could search for ‘books with happy endings’ or ‘books with cats in them’ and have it return something on my Kindle. But I’m not going to create collections for these.
