It surely must be possible to organise my books into folders- at least I bloody hope so!
Any help out there?

Directory structures are not used by Kobo. Their equivalent is shelves. You can create shelves and add books to them on the Kobo itself by tapping on the Library icon, then on shelves. Tap on the triple bar icon at the end of the Sort: Shelf Name line to add a new shelf. Once you have the shelf created, you can select the shelf and then add books to it. A bit of a pain at the best of times.
The easiest way to handle shelves is using a program called Calibre which can with a bit of setup automatically generate your shelves for you.
A couple of alternatives, are that you can sort the library view by author or you can use the search function.
I prefer not to use shelves and use the search function instead.You can search on title, author or series information -- from the home screen, tap on search, select library and then start typing your search term. From the library screen, you can tap at the top of the screen (pretty much where it says Library) and bring up the search bar from there.
