Yeahbut... It still needs to be fixed. The Delete button still does not function AT ALL and the folder 'management' in the Mobipocket version is - to put it kindly - a JOKE.

Back in '07, the Gen 3 being a new product, this was acceptable. Now, over a year and a half later, it is a sign of their failure to consider end users.

Buying any of these e-ink readers is a serious investment. Having to buy upgraded reader or from different manufacturers to get basic features is not good business strategy.
