1a. I happened to have a djvu file I got from Russia and I copied it onto the Story and opened it without problems and without conversion.

This sounds very promising. In comparison, on the Nook I have to convert the FB2 files to ePUB (using Calibre), extract the ePUB into a folder, edit a file with links to third party fonts that contain Cyrillic glyphs, then compress again. Way too much hassle, and needless to say something that my non-technical mother can't do herself. If I get her the Story HD my life will become much simpler. Or so I hope.

2. There is no folder or tagging support. There are five pseudo-folders: Google Library, all books sorted by recent access, user-marked "favorites", all books sorted by title, all books sorted by author. The user can mark any books as a "favorite" and it shows up in the "favorites" pseudo-folder..

Have you tried the folder-view option? It seems promising. Quote:
"In the settings menu there's an option to switch to folder view instead, which makes organizing collections and keeping track of a large number of ebooks a lot easier."

3. One has to keep pushing the navigation button. It is much faster than my old Nook, but it doesn't zoom like the Kindle one does if you hold it down.

I wonder why the Story HD allows continues page turning by holding this button but not continues navigation within menus and lists. Hopefully iRiver will fix it in a firmware upgrade.
