Maybe there is no need for folder support. I have a Cybook Gen3 and an Opus. With 400 books on my readers I needed the folder support, but not with my new Sony PRS350.
On the PRS350 selection can be made by author, by date, by last read, by book name and by file name, with an index on the rigth margin.

The reader exploits the meta information in the epub file (in the opf file). You can edit this information if necessary (I made some tests with Sigil).
If the epub file is well formatted you don't have to do anything and you can move the epub file on the device with your favorite explorer (windows, linux, mac...).

In short: with epub files correctly formatted you can move the files to the reader and access the books very easily, without any software from Sony (you don't need Calibre either) and without collections.

And with the touch screen you can easily take notes, go to a specific page, highlight some text and with a double click do a dictionary lookup in English, German, French, Italian, Spanich and Dutch. And from the sleeping mode the reader start in a second. And the reader don't look cheap, and the screen is fabulous
