Sounds good. I'm right handed but normally hold my ebook reader in my left. But it sounds like it's small enough that it'd work fine one-handed.

Obviously, the 350 can't do the other things you want. Maybe those are deal killers for you. And you need to try it out, of course. But you really should before rejecting it on the assumption it won't work physically for you.

I'll try one; I haven't decided how much "faster processor" would cover for "no new file support."

As for folders, why aren't Collections enough, given calibre? Do you want nesting folders?

I bounce between three computers--home desktop, home laptop, and work computer. I currently load books onto my reader with drag-and-drop Windows Explorer.
If Calibre had a way to deal with books already on the reader without removing & replacing them, I'd use it for library management. Since it doesn't, I'm not bothering; I often wind up picking up ebooks on my break at work, esp. since AO3 has ebook downloads.
I don't care about nesting folders, and tagging would be nicer than I current deal with--I'm just not willing to add a couple of minutes' delay to every ebook uploaded to my device. (Mostly, I'm to lazy to figure out Calibre, beyond default-setting conversions, which I still find frustrating.)
ETA: I love Calibre! I'm just no good at it; I find it frustrating to the point where, when I've got a Word file with essential pictures, I'll convert it to a custom-sized PDF rather than figure out the settings for a decent ePub file.
