Im posting this in the Cybook section because i was very close to trading in my Iliad for a Cybook v3 until i did some reading. So it appears that a new update has come for the Cybook v3, however the directory system was not addressed (i.e. it lists ALL books in one large list, that is sortable and searchable, but makes browsing very difficult, much like the Kindle). Does this sound right?

I am very interested in the Cybook, however, i need to have a directory tree structure (either by tags or by folder/subfolders). This is the best thing about the Iliad, the way you can just surf thru the folders. Actually why they dont use an information tag like mp3s is beyond me. Not really, is suppose, there are still too many formats, but a guy can wish!

Anyways, from some of the threads, apparently adding this feature is on the list for Cybook (although it didnt make the recent cut). So the question is, how reliable is the supposition that this will be added, and does anybody have any informed guesses as to how quickly it will be implemented?

As an aside, does anyone know of any other ebook reader that does use a folder/subfolder system, besides the Iliad?

Anyways, any insight would be helpful.
