If you sort by recent, then all the new e-books come first and it is easy to add them all at once. You can also sort by title or by author. But yes, if you have that many collections, it probably won't be easy, no matter which way you do it.

There's also a nice little trick for finding titles and authors starting with a specific letter. Say you have 53 pages of books. Sort them by author, for example. In the lower right corner it says "1 of 53". Click on it. Now you can choose to go directly to the authors starting with whatever letter you want. Yes, it still involves some clicking, but a lot less than clicking through 50 pages of authors.

You can do the above while adding books to a collection, too.

Perhaps you're already aware of this. i learned it a while later and it's been a big help.

Yes I am, I always use that to go to the last page, but often forget I could use the alphabet part of it.

As much as anything, we just develop habits I guess, and it would depend on how regularly you use your device and what for. Usually I just turn it on and continue reading. Every few weeks or (mostly) months I buy one or more ebooks, and then download them to my PC first via Kindle For PC, then when I get a chance, download them to one or more of my other devices. I then sort them to where they belong on those devices, perhaps creating a collection at the same time. I also do some other stuff , to keep Calibre in the loop.

Because I now use my KindEbook Wishlist program to monitor price changes for ebooks on my Amazon Wishlist, my purchases often come in spurts it seems. I watch a lot more books than it was feasible to do previously, but only purchase when they meet my criteria ... which is based on the patterns etc my program has helped me discover. I usually check the price once or twice a day, in under 15 minutes for about 60 or so ebooks. Much quicker than manually visiting each page via the Amazon Wishlist, which also contains non-ebook entries. My list of favorites I check in much quicker time, around 5 mins.
