Thanks for the idea, but I would like to keep it more concise. The way you suggested would look like this:
E-Book Devices
-- Sony
---- PRS-505
------ Content
------ Accessories
------ ...
and so on.
Using this layout, important forum sections would get buried deep below the forum's main, which makes it harder for users to find their way around. Adding too many subforums makes it harder to find the right place to post in and to find the right place for answers.
I would simplify it like this:
E-Book Devices (current)
-- Sony PRS-700
-- Sony PRS-505 (merge Content, Accessories, etc. in here as well)
-- Amazon Kindle DX
-- Amazon Kindle 2
-- ...
In other words, I wouldn't go farther down than one subcategory. I would merge existing sub-subsections (like content, accessories) using appropriate thread prefixes with the main section of the respective device. So one device = one forum section.
In addition, I would add a new parent forum called
E-Book Devices (discontinued)
where we could move existing sections over time when devices get replaced by newer devices.
