I'm considering getting a Sony reader, mostly looking at the PRS-600 and was wondering if someone could explain the collections function on the Sony readers.

As I understand it, they will create groups of books filtering out all others not in the collection.

Does it create folders on the device and moves the books there, or would you class them as "virtual folders" and only tags them as being part of the collection?

The reason I would like to know is that I've got several series of books that are not all by the same author (e.g. Halo, AvP, Warhammer, Star Wars books, etc) and I'd like to have collections by author and by series. If the collections are virtual, then I will not need to duplicate books on the device so as to create the collection correctly.

Any help would be most appreciated.
