I'm a techno-geek and total folder whore on my computers. Everything is in folders and sub-folders and sub-sub-folders.

But I like being able to put books into multiple categories, something that a folder system would prohibit.

That being said, it wouldn't be so hard to implement a fourth sorting, "Folders," which would mirror the file system you create on the device's memory.

I only have two categories: "Courses" for the PDF's my profs give me for lecture notes; and "Currently Reading" so I can find my current book at the top of the list. I'm guessing that putting the categories at the top of the list in Category view is new to K3, and that's good to see. I was afraid I would still have to dig.

I chose to merge the PDF's so that there wouldn't be a massively long list of lecture notes, but it would have been nice to separate them into sub-categories for each class.

There are lots of features that some people want and others don't. A lot of software systems (like my voicemail) implement an "Advanced Options" menu that allows power users to change every last little thing, but keeps that clutter hidden from the average Joe.

Regarding the expectation that you're only supposed to store a few books at a time: Then why the heck did they give me 4gb, and run around bragging that it holds 3,500 books? I don't think I've even read close to that many in my whole life!
