Most Readers do not support directories. They support collections. As for Kobo, Calibre can manage those collections with no need to jailbreak. Kindle's need to be jailbroken to have Calibre manage collections. So if you buy a PW2 you could get a device that cannot be jailbroken and if you buy a Voyage you will get a device that cannot be jailbroken.

Kobo collections just work. The new forthcoming Glo HD (same screen as the Voyage at a fraction of the price $129.99) will allow Calibre to manage collections. The voyage, no way since the 5.6.x firmware and Amazon plugging all the holes that allowed for jailbreaking.
Kobo collections are not as good as folder organization. I used a similar "tag" system on a Sony, and I have no desire to go back.

Is it true that you have to jailbreak Kindles to use Calibre to add collections? I find that hard to believe. That would mean you couldn't use it on the new PW2s and the Voyage.
