The big problem I have is, yes, one can create sub-folders under /eBooks and put the ebooks into the relevant sub-folders; and, yes, the ebooks are all visible in the Library, but doing so doesn't create any kind of structure within the Library!!!! Once I've got the Cybook turned on, I'm still seeing a large, and growing larger, flat list of all the available ebooks!

Now this isn't *that* big a problem with 80 or fewer ebooks, but put 900 ebooks on the SD card and finding that next ebook in a series can be difficult and time-consuming! The Library *should* be able to show all ebooks and sub-folders within a given folder - without listing the ebooks contained in the sub-folders! I should be able to select a sub-folder and see only the ebooks inside that sub-folder as well as any sub-sub-folders in there (but not the ebooks contained within those sub-folders). Plus, since even such dinky programs as WinZip and WinRAR understand the idea of an icon to represent the next-higher-folder within a directory chain (usually expressed as a folder icon immediately followed by two periods (dots)), I or others would have no problem backing up the chain to the root, /eBooks, folder.
