We have 2 Libre Pro's and while they are sturdy, basic little readers and have stood up well to a couple of years of less than careful handling, they aren't 'manageable' - the menu is in alpha order by title. If there is any way to set it up differently, I haven't found it. I am definitely tech illiterate, so I don't claim that it isn't possible, but I think it just wasn't in Aluratek's budget for this reader.
I've tried putting books by author - renaming them on my computer before transferring, but the reader picks up the original (metadata?) and everything is alpha by title when they appear in the menu. I suppose you could go to all the time and trouble of changing or eliminating metadata before transferring, but that's way to time-consuming for me.
I tried a couple of folders by author name, but it wouldn't open them, so that was a waste of time as well.
I'd say you definitely need something more comprehensive than the Libre Pro.

eta: it doesn't matter whether you try organizing on the device itself or the SD card. Menu reads all books alpha by title - only separation is books that are 'open' and books that are loaded from ADE. ADE books are at the end, also alpha by title.
