advantage over folders?

Well, I don't have to do anything to organize books on my Kobo, including creating folders and pondering which books go to which folders when sending them to the device. I just connect my Kobo to Calibre, send a bunch of books over (even several hundred at once) and that's it. The Kobo sorts them into collections automatically, taking the data from Calibre.
