prs650 - folder navigation
Hi
Im just starting to look for a 6" ereader. I have about 3'500 pdfs well sorted in folders and subfolders. How will the PRS650 handle this? Is there really NO folder navigation? Thanks for some help and greetings Gogolo |

For whatever reason, none of the big three (Sony, Kindle, and Nook) support folders. Sony and Kindle offer collections instead. If you use a program like Calibre, which lets you add tags and series information, you can control where they go. On the Sony, Collections are built based on tags and series. It's a nice concept if your books are organized and tagged properly. I don't know how the Kindle organizes its collections, but imagine it's similar.
There's a nifty matrix, located here, that shows which 6" readers support folders, as well as other useful comparison information. |

As polly stated, Sony's collections are based upon tags only and are really considered single level folder support (therefore no subfolders).

Thanks both for your kind help. Seems I have to look elsewhere. Single folder is not a option.

If you really want 3500 PDFs all nicely sorted in folders and sub folders, a different type of device might be better than an e-book reader. Like a netbook or ipad.
Just IMO. |
