I'm trying to find a new reader but nothing seems to have a similar shelving management system.
I quite liked the new Kobo Mini but I've never used the Kobo system I have no idea what the bookshelf is like.
I've tried out my Dads Sony PRS-505 and hate the shelf, Ok so you can use tags to make collections which I'm sure I could get used to but I hate the fact that Edger Allen Poe is found and filed under E!!!
I'm looking for a basic e-ink reader 5 or 6 inch, although I'm going travelling so a 5" would be great. Expanding the storage would be great although not a deal breaker. I use epub with PDF as a secondary choice.
I've been reluctant to go the way of Amazon due to their non-use of epub and the fact they like use their own .azw format.
I know I'm fixating on the shelving system but for me its important. I love being able to go to my bebook and feeling like I want to read sci-fi so I bring up the sci-fi folder and then theres author sub folders

Using a custom column in Calibre, you can create your shelves on the Kobo readers (Glo, Mini, Touch).
I think you might like the possibilities with the Mini...While it's not the same as a file system, you get to choose content of the shelves yourself and the books can be viewed by author/title etc as well either on a shelf or in the UI.
