With Kindle you have list of books and that is it. The same with Sony. You can have categories (not nested, that is not categories within categories) but the creation is only manual, from the device or in case of Sony from Sony Library software.

On PocketBook you can use folders (directories) to sort your books. Just copy your book folder from PC with all its directories, or export Calibre library to a desired directory structure)
You can also have Favorites here (Virtual directories that work similar to categories on Kindle, but CAN be nested), so there is no need to have 20 pages long list of unsorted books. Favorites structure is in one flat file accesible from PC so you can create any elaborate lists you wish.
Plus, with some themes(*) you can have quite a long list of books on one page. I use Cleanlook theme that can display some 50 books per page.

(*) Theme is a file that redefines user interface. Menus, icons, behaviour, look of the library.
You HAVE to test some. Look up themes Cleanlook, Sheeps, Sherlock and others. I have some 30 different themes installed on my device, so my PocketBook can have 30 different looks.
