Just to expose my ignorance even more, how does one use the SD card?

Will this still work? I have a lot of ebooks on a card set up in folders and subfolders.
Does the Sony recognise folders?

I'll provide what help I can based on my experience. As far as loading ebooks on an SD card, rather than doing it directly on the SD card and then inserting the card into my ereader, I insert the card into my ereader and then load the ebooks through the Sony Reader Library (SRL) and Calibre.
As far as loading ebooks on the SD card, I do the following (based on the software):
- SRL: I drag and drop the ebooks on the SD card.
- Calibre: I select the ebooks and send them to the SD card.
As far as I know, the Sony ereaders don't recognize folders. They use collections to organize ebooks and as I've gained experience with collections I've found them a better way to organize ebooks. They function in a similar manner to the genre tag in an MP3 file.
One advantage that collections have over folders is that one ebook can be placed into many collections without the need to duplicate the ebook. As an example, I have a number of ebooks that I've put into two or three different collections but only one copy of the ebook is on my reader.
I hope this helps.
