@Justy: you may try and PM Forksigan on this site, as he is always super helpful (at least in my experience).

Mivo, the folders structure in the Pocketbook is like in a computer, so IMHO the Mini is not comparable. If Rusty can get the Pocketbook Mini, it will have the same firmware as the other Pocketbooks (read: great firmware), which is far more flexible than the Kobo Mini's.

Having said that, after the first adjustment period for me when I switched to the Kobo Mini after my own Pocketbook 360 "passed away" I am a very happy customer - and it was easy for me to get used to shelves/tags.
