See the end of the thread
Astak Pocket Pro is based on Hanlin. HAnlin V3 6" devices are at the moment the only e-ink device (besides iliad) that has folder support, so I expect that Pocket Pro will have folder support as well.
Pocket Pro is supposed to have Epson controler, and that might mean that there is no "inverted flash" during page turn.
There will be more news before weekend. RobertB from Astak is supposed to get first two prototypes on Friday.
The planned price is at the moment $199
Another very important consideration for me that OpenInkpot - the open source firmware - works on Hanlin, so I expect it will also work on Pocket Pro. Sooner on later (and I would bet on sooner).

Netronix is also comming see

You see that cover?
That gives the "Crush resistant" a whole new meaning
If you look at the video carefully, there is "images" entry in library view with an icon that might mean folder.
