Thanks for the help folks, but I think I'll be immediately selling this brand new Kobo Mini and hunting around for a second hand BeBook. I've emailed them (see below) but looking around on the internet it appears their support is pretty nonexistant. I phoned their helpline and got through to Scottish Power!

Hi Kobo,

I've just bought a new Kobo Mini to replace my broken BeBook One.

All my books were organised (by author's name) into folders on my SD card (a few hundred books). I also had a folder for recently read books and one for books earmarked for reading soon etc.

I transferred the folders into the Kobo and found to my horror that the folders are not displayed, so every single book is in one giant folder.

If a folder support option cannot be worked out with your firmware very soon, I am going to have to sell it and buy another BeBook.

I am not interested in putting ebooks on pretend 'shelves'. Shelves are for real books. I want the freedom to organise my documents in the only sensible way- personalised folders.

Would you buy a computer that didn't give the option to put documents into folders? It's ridiculous.

Please reply soon.
