I beg to differ Sir.
In addition to books, I download articles from various periodicals like the Economist, WSJ, FT, etc. Do to the lack of hierarchy, and the number of files on the device, management of "old files" demands time when the Reader is connected to the computer, that is a complete waste, if the article or book could be deleted at the time I was finished with it. Lack of the feature in effect makes me "carry home" all the old newspapers, and magazines, that I would have discarded along the way, but for the lack of this simple feature.
Everyone uses the Reader differently, but you may have noted on a different thread that one of the suggested expansions of the Sonny Connect business model would be to provide "subscriptions" through their website (for a fee??) formatted for the Reader. If they do provide this service in the future, it will exacerbate the issue further.
