There are no folders or collection options (newspapers are a special case, which I will ignore here) for navigation. Folders can exist, but are ignored for navigation. All your content is in one linear list, but there are three sort options: recent first, author, title. In the latter two, it is possible to go to the first letter of the title/author by using the keyboard. It is also possible to use the entire device search to find an ebook. The biggest problem for a large collection would be finding ebooks with incorrect metadata, because they won't be where they are supposed to be.

For PDFs, only the metadata is included in the entire device search, but more importantly metadata recognition seems to be hit and miss. See Kindle 2 DX PDF Metadata... all sorts of wrong..
