I would suggest just putting all your ebooks into either Marvin, MapleRead (or both) on your iDevice. Then arrange them to your preference, and eliminate the Dropbox search problem. You can use MapleRead CX for free with some limitations. Here is a link to organizing/searching in the three MapleRead versions:

I have paid for all the MapleReads. However the beauty of the dropbox system is I don't have to clog up my phone with thousands of books I'm not reading. I keep my calibre library in my dropbox so whenever I add a new book it is immediately available to me on any dropbox connected device.
With Marvin, if I feel like revisiting all the Saint books, I type Charteris in the dropbox search, tap all the results and in <1 minute I've downloaded 50 books. Even eliminating the search problem with MapleRead, just starting at the Leslie Charteris folder, I have to enter 50 separate folders to access the files, make sure they're in the queue, then exit and go to the next folder to access the next book. I also have to pick the right file as all the folders have the epub, the cover .jpg and many have the .azw file if I've put them on a kindle in the past.
And this is why I'm still using Marvin even though it's been abandoned forever. I've tried MapleRead several times but I can't get past what a pain it is to get my books into it.
