Folder organisation is so 1960s-1970s. it's so slow and painful for 6,000 books compared to a Library Metadata & Search interface.

I had folder based KOReader on my Kobo.

I wrote PC document management and PC library book & Video lending libraries 20 years ago and none of it used file browsing.

You can do what you want on any Kobo model, but for 1000s of books (and 7" Libra 2 or 8" Sage can maybe manage 18,000 to 22,000 depending on type/size).

If you really want small size, then the Kobo Clara 2E, but the 7" Libra 2 or 8" Sage have page turn buttons (optional use), 32G and the 7" model is that much bigger than older 6" ereaders like the Nook.

KOReader is simple to install on Kobo and no jail-break needed. But you really don't need file based browsing, especially slow with 6,000 ebooks!
