The Pocketbook line of Readers (Pocketbook360, 302, upcoming 902/903) all use a folder-based UI *plus* offer an alternate links-based system of FAVORITES that lets you create added tag-based structures. The FAVORITES links can point to individual titles, folders of links, or file folders. In the latter case the files presented will be dynamic lists instead of static links. With this system you could organize your books in Author-based folders *and* in Genre-based folders of links. Or any set of structure that you choose.
The file system UI also allows displaying book by lists, thumbnail tabs, or book covers. Books can be displayed by either the file name or the book title from the metadata and the Readers are reskinable with Themes that alter not just looks but behavior, adding extra viewing modes, for example.
Their bookshelf software is pretty flexible.
