Only software that is capable of reading the tags and sorting on that. It is standard in mobi type files. But Windows is quite capable of generating tags for any type of file like .doc or .rtf I guess that linux would be able to do the same I really don't care were on my Cybook the files are located. I also don't care were the files on my Creative Zen MP3 player are located. I find them by looking for an artist or a genre, not by browsing a directory structure If that software arranges the files themselves in a treelike directory structure, one master directory or even one big 'database' like Oracle does not matter
Since there is no Linux software for this and no open specifiction this will not work. It is also harder to delete book when you do not see their place in the file structure.
