Yep, it's pretty simple. Actually it doesn't work out too badly because you are still free to use folders and sub-folders to keep things organized on your SD card if you want, while being assured that the PRS-650 will still find and index all your content so that it can be merged with the files that are already present on the readers internal memory.
When you load the SD card into the reader and power it up the first time, the PRS-650 will scan all the sub-folders, find all the compatible content, and organize by the embedded meta-tags.
EPUBs get sorted by author, title, filename, date, and last read ordering just like the internal titles, and MP3s get sorted into albums and tracks by their ID3 tags, and they are all merged and displayed with the files on the internal memory with a tiny [sd] or [ms] icon to show their location.
Simple.
Having an alternate folder based view as an option would be nice, but honestly, with the built in title search and collections features, it's not too hard to keep things organized as it is, even with thousands of titles on the device.
If you are determined to have a folder based view, I think that some of the hacked PRS+ reader firmware does offer this, but I don't think it's working on the PRS-650 yet.
