I have to differ concerning Calibre adding a layer of complexity. I think that the final results obtained by simply downloading a free software package and applying yourself for likely under an hour more than make up having to spend a few minutes on the PC. When you consider how easy it is to restore all your shelves/collections in the event of a firmware reset, or a bad update, it's a magnificent return on your investment in time. Further, the flexibility of how you want things to work both in Calibre and on your reader cannot be beaten.
When you consider all the other features offered by Calibre, especially ebook format translations, ability to manipulate and replace or provide missing covers it really becomes a no-brainer. The best part is that with Peter's shelves sticky it makes even more complex tasks like massaging filenames and setting up shelves a walk in the park.
