Greetings.

Thanks for the replies.

wytwolf: I have approximately 100 novels (they came with my new ebook reader) and about 800 late Victorian and early twentieth century textbooks and reference books. Most are scans of public domain books which are hardly likely to convert nicely to an epub format. Further, as everyone associated with the books is, regrettably, long dead, I doubt new editions in electronic format are likely. ;-)

vishcompany: I am shocked and appalled to read that the Sony PRS-T1 would need to be hacked in order to display files in a folder view! I truly can’t fathom the thinking, if any, behind building a device that can handle 32GB of Ebooks, but which deliberately thwarts any attempt to organizer them! I confess I was hoping to devote my scant spare time to reading, not screwing around with some gadget!

Do you -- or does anyone -- know if having hundreds of Ebooks in folders will cause it to run more slowly? (As I mentioned in a different thread, my new Aluratek 7” Libre Color [UNLIKE my previous 5” Libre Pro] has a mania as far as repeatedly and unnecessarily scanning it memory/ies so as to create useless commingled alphabetized lists of its contents.)

Thanks to all for the information, and thanks for the Relaunch hint.
