So, you say what makes tags more usable is what's bad about tags. That's the exact problem with folder. You have to define a taxonomy and stick with it. What if an ebook would fit in two places in your folder scheme?

EVERY tags is a main category. VERY tag is a sub-category. That's the whole point. You can choose at any time where you want to start. Today you might want to start at a genre tag, tomorrow you might want to start at UNREAD tag, the next day you might want to start with the Publisher tag.
