I just installed Koreader and prefer the folder management - is there any way to create sub-collections/ folders? The default seems to be by author. If this is doable - any way a book can sit in two folders?
If none of this is possible, how do you manage your collections?
Any help is much appreciated!

As a Sage owner who uses KOReader for 98% of my reading my first piece of advice is - ignore the arrant nonsense about it only having one advantage over the stock reader. Utter balderdash.
That said, I'd echo the advice to make good use of the calibre metadata search function. It's how I search my Sage library and if you assign your genres and subgenres as tags, they will all be searchable. As will series and author, in addition to titles of course. By assigning multiple tags to a book, it will show up in each of those result sets, which may be close to what you were after.
You can assign a shortcut to access the metadata search or perhaps even easier, a gesture. I use gestures A LOT, they are one of the many customisation features of KOReader that I find make it infinitely preferable to the stock reader
