There is way to make favorites from PC in bulk, but I am afraid there is no special program for that at the moment.

The system for Favorites on PocketBook is (like the vast majority of features) very, very hacker friendly.
Just add a few favorites, create a few categories and add some books into categories.
Now connect the PocketBook to the PC and have a look at the /system/favorite/ directory.
Each book is represented by a file [some random string].flk
Each of those files has just one line containing the path to the book, like
/mnt/ext1/Books/SciFi/Cory Dostorow/Overclocked.epub

If I had several thousand files I would most probably write a few Vim scripts and shell scripts for creating such structure.

How are your books organized?
Do you have your categories already in some format?
