How you organise the files doesn't matter. The firmware reads them, puts the details into a database and presents that as a list. Plus you have collections you can put the books into.

Folders on the device should work. Nearly all my books are in folders. The only reason they shouldn't be processed is if the name starts with a dot. It's possible that there are some other characters in the names that might prevent the folder or book being seen, but, if you are copying from a Windows system, that is unlikely.

I do all my book management from calibre. The driver for the Glo can create the collections for the books. And the default file name uses a sub-folder for each author. The Glo has no problem with this. Calibre will also make sure there are no illegal characters in the file name.

So, what happens when you put the folder on the Glo? When you disconnect, do you see the processing screen?
