The reason I suggested loading books in directories by author is the difficulty in finding the author/book/series you want to read next.

CC (Calibre Companion) makes this simple. You can easily show books by an author, books in a series, or books by any other calibre metadata such as tag. You can set it up to sort by whatever you want when you look at a category. For example, when looking at series it is common to sort by series index, but when looking at authors people often sort by author/series+index/title.

A few years ago I loaded several books for my roommate's mother (in her 80s) on a pocketpc using mobipocket reader as the reader. She had Parkinson's so had quite a shaking problem.
As long as someone loaded (opened) the book for her she was fine with reading on the device but had problems opening new books for some reason.

This is a good point. Using any android app requires taps and swipes. @guymcd: you might consider getting a stylus, or even a device that comes with one such as the Note.
