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.

I agree, if you go to
www.mobipocket.com en check out the 'big' reader for windows, you can see they have no folder support at all. It is even worse than on the cybook. If you put a book in a subfolder from your main folder the books won't be visible in the library. On the cybook they
do show up when you use subfolders. You can even use it as a primitive "sort on author"
The Windows reader does have the option to select and sort on various things like subject, title and author. That makes life better.
If you read the mobipocket forum you can see that people are asking for folders for years now. The response is alway: Use the library software and you do not need folders.
I think the best we can hope for is a better search/sort/select mechanism.
