I honestly think that you overestimate peoples' abilities. I run my own software business, and most of the support calls that I get for my software are precisely due to lack of basic computer knowledge.

Your problem is that you think that it's such an obvious feature (and it is!), there must be same grand reason why they haven't included it. Sadly, that's not the way the world works. It's probably something trivial really...

Stop and think about it for the moment. The Reader
does actually support folders - it just doesn't visually show you the folder hierarchy. Don't you think that generating a flat file list from a folder tree is actually rather
more work than simply showing the folder tree in the first place? There has GOT to be a reason why they decided to hide it from users.
