The first part is already possible today. You can create folders with the name of an author and fill them with the his/her books. When you sort your library on filename, you will find all books from one author grouped. The Autor name is the folder name...well indirect. The problem is navigation. You cannot 'skip' to the next author. Or jump to an author starting with an 'S'

I don't really care about folders. What I really want is the possibilly to sort or jump on meta data. That will give me virtual folders and those are of much more use than fixed ones.
Today I want my books sorted on Author, tomorrow perhaps on Title, on Genre or on read/unread. This information is already available in the mobi format. They even use it in the library display.
This system will even work if all books are place in one big folder. More or less like MobiReader for the desktop.
