As for huge collections of books, I must agree with above that without a proper index scheme (I.e... A B C ->C ->Clarke, Cooper, Crandon ...And then a book bibliography under the author, or a Quick and Easy browse function (? maybe text only, no graphics?), it is too unwieldy to attempt navigation of hundreds, much less thousands of books. Once we’ve tackled the browse/index problems, I will be able to understand the need. But I am not expecting to see the above happen in these first generation readers – And I’ll be happy to see them implemented as early as in the third (when I hope to be buying my next).
The 505 has an index scheme mostly like you mention. Plus it also has collections. So from that standpoint, the 505 would be easier to deal with more content then most.
