B&N has a long history with their original Nook of ignoring content other than their own and, additionally, disregarding the limits their software imposes on external storage (16GB card allowed with software that will only allow 5% to be used). The fact that "shelves" can only be set up withing their system rather than as regular directorys and folders is just one more indication that they are rather clueless. This in the number one reason that I have rooted my original Nook and have purchased a JetBook Lite. They have received many. many complaints and the solution is simple and obvious, so they are ignoring it for some reason.

With B&N we will have to just dream about how easy it would be if they simply allowed folders. For serious readers, neither B&N nor Kindle will be a contender.
