I've had no problem syncing collections with my reader's internal memory, as well as to a memory card (using the SD slot) using the EBook Library. My library consists of both PDF ebooks and BBeB ebooks, and both show up on my reader with no problems. I currently have 13 collections in my library and I designate some collections for my ereader's internal memory, and others for the SD card and the collections (and their ebooks) are loaded in the correct location.

The only time some of my collections didn't show up on my reader is when I didn't let the EBook Library complete the sync process (I removed my ereader from my library too soon). When I synced again and let the process finish the collections were back where they should be. Now, I make sure I wait until the sync screen shows "Completed" for both the internal memory and the SD card before I remove my ereader from my computer.

What I've found works best is to use collections to control the ebooks loaded on my ereader (only ebooks in a collection are loaded on my reader). I do all of the ebook management work in the EBook Library without my ereader connected to my computer. The only time I connect my ereader to my computer is to sync it with the Ebook Library and then I disconnect it when it's finished (I have an AC adapter for charging my reader).

I hope this helps.
SD card is working fine for me as well, whereas the additional memory stick only shows the books but not the collections.
Explanation 1: Reader can't show collections from various sources. (Has been working before though, so this would mean a change in the systematic.)
Explanation 2: Reader prefers the SD card over the memory stick. Would be strange for a unit from Sony.
As I've got the very same on Sony 505 AND Sony 700 an on the other hand it's working fine on Sony 300 AND Sony 600 AND Sony 900, there has to be SOME systematic behind it.
