Creating usable collections for the PRS600

For the Sony this only shows Series and Tags. As there can be many tags for each book, this is not a good option for me. Also Series won't work well either as many books are not in a series and the series doesn't say what genre it belongs too.

Are these the only things that can be used to create collections? I'd like to have the collections be an existing custom metadata, Genre. Or maybe create a new one called Collection. But I can't figure out how to do this, if it can be done that is. I have looked all over this forum and can't find any real directions for creating the collections.

I just got this Sony Touch today and it has been driving me crazy. I also have an Astak EZReader Pocket Pro that is set up using folders to hold the "collections". This has worked well as I can just use win explorer to copy the files where I want them. After a bit of testing I will decide which reader to keep. The Sony has a bigger screen, so is easier to read, but the EZReader is lighter weight and came with a great cover.
