Even though I have access to Windows, I seldom use it. With my Sony reader filling up with books, I appreciated the possibility of organizing them into "Collections", even if it is limited to the internal memory.

You have to use the Connect software to do so, afaik. You cannot do it on the device itself, and considering the glacial speed with which Sony releases any updates, I do not expect that to change anytime soon, not anymore than the inability to use collections on the memorycard.

The software I mostly use now, libprs500, does not (yet) support collections. Does any of the other alternatives out there? What do You do if you don't use the Connect software? Just skip collections altogether and flip pages upon pages in you booklist to find a particular title ? (Sony doesn't offer search or sort either...)
