It may be important to most users on this forum but we are not representative of "typical" eBook user - people who seek out a forum such as this are, almost by definition, eBook enthusiasts.

You don't honestly think that there's no folder view because Bookeen couldn't implement one, do you, or that it's just a coincidence that no eBook reader (other than the iLiad, which is rather a different type of device) has them?

The reason that folders aren't supported is almost without doubt because the market research that these companies do shows them that the typical "non-expert" user gets confused by folders, and loses things put in them.

I'll be happy to see folders if we get them, but I completely understand why it is that we DON'T have them in the current firmware.
