Please note that both of those are 8" - larger than Kobo Aura HD and other mentioned readers (6.7")
There is also Onyx Boox m96 with 9.7" UNLIT e-ink screen and Android 4.xy, so you can install whatever reader and file manager you want. IF you thing your father can handle increased complexity of using Android with various apps used for various purposes.

PocketBook 840 does let you organize files in folders AND in flat-file list according to many criteria. It also lets you to use filenames AND metadata. Many things are configurable.
The list of supported formats is massive.
Epubs, for example can be opened in two internal apps and in a third-party Coolreader.
You will have to downgrade firmware from 5.xy to 4.xy (which became available after numerous protests about [missing] features in 5.xy). Firmware used before 4.xy, on older devices, was even better, but that is a different rant.
I think cybook does support folders. I am sure some of previous models did and they have no reason to drop that. But you can ask Nate at the digital reader dot com.
