So I've been thinking of upgrading my Sony 300 for a little while now, and I'm very close to taking the plunge and getting a Kobo (especially since it's on sale for $129 right now!). My only real concern, and it's a biggie for me, is the apparant lack of support for browsing by collection. I organize all my ebooks (and I have a lot) with Calibre and 99% of them are sorted into collections. The large majority of my books are series, some of which have upwards of 20 books in the series. There's no way I could ever remember the proper order of the books in each series. Has anyone come up with an easy work around?

Not being able to browse by collection might be a dealbreaker for me, but I'd be able to live with it until they hopefully add the feature in a future firmware release if I can get around the problem somehow in the meantime. Thanks!
