There is an ongoing disussion on the Mobipocket forum. People are requesting it every couple of months.
Mobipocket simply doesn't want to use folders. According to them all managment is done with the reader. If you have the full blown Mobireader on a PC this is no problem. You can sort on anything you want and you can do a search. They simply see 'My eBooks' as one big database.
The Cybook is actually better with folders than MobiReader for the PC. The latter won't find anything in subfolders of "My eBook".
On the Cybook you can use subfolders with the name of the author. And use this as a primitive way of sorting your books. You will only find books that are in this toplevel directory.
But I can think of ways to improve on that. Folders would be one of them. But you won't need folders if you use the full Mobi approach. Make it possible for the reader to sort/search on any 'tag' like Title, Author, Subject etc
I don't care
were the books are on my reader. As long as it is easy to find them.
This is how my ZEN MP3 player works. I do not jump from directory to directory. But I jump to Rock, AudioBook or Red Hot Chilly Peppers
