Sounds like something stemming from the combined device interface plugin for Sony devices. The documentation said if you had changed the plugin you would need to redo it.

Needless to say it defeats the concept of collections if each collection has only a couple books.

Assuming you had a version more current then 0.6.17 updating Calibre should not have affected your collections within the calibre library. What version did you update from?

I have upgraded with no problem but I have yet to connect my Sony device. I'm going to hook it up now and move around a few books to see if I can help replicate your problem.

Deleting and re-adding them from your reader or from Calibre itself?
