A bit further on in my own experience, lets look at these things one by one.

Yep, manuals are rubbish, and actually one area where I think paper works better

And YES, I agree with so much here. It drives me crazy that I can't see a proper list of the books. I re-named them in Adobe Digital Editions so the title was first, but can still only see half the title.

Something so simple that you'd think it would have been spotted as soon as they switched it on. Stupid flaw, should be fixed.

Also, the bookmarks...am I missing something here? I bookmark the page I am on, but it doesn't delete the previous bookmark, it adds to it. So I am left with a long 'list' of bookmarks which I have to delete one by one, a very tedious process.
What am I doing wrong please?

That is intentional. Think of bookmarks as little tabs you've added to the book so you can review them all later rather than a single bookmark of your progress. It does remember which page you are up to automatically on any book you open, and you can get your most recent book by pressing MENU -> UP -> ENTER.... but again clumsy and it should just default to a menu item for "Open most recent book" on turning on with a list of the 5/6 most recent books opened below it in my view.

I actually find this a clunky product in terms of how to access various areas. As you say, I just want the thing to open up at the last page I was reading.
I am also confused about how to file things...my folder, my books, my digital books, my recent books...they all seem to hold the same things and I don't know how to move them around.

Everything in the books folder is my tactic (I've given up using the SD card now and decided to put all in its internal memory - so much for my plan of having all my books on an SD card for portability between multiple ereaders/tablets when they drop sufficiently in price). You can use subfolders however you like from there downwards - personally I have put about 5 folders for Sci-Fi, classics, modern fiction, modern non-fiction and biographies. As I've got lots of classics (copyright free) I've got them in further subfolders for each author. Then if you look at the "book" view you see all books in one list (and you can use SEARCH to find one). Or if you go to "My Folder" you can then navigate through the file structure to find the books if you prefer.
