I'm going to be purchasing a dedicated ebook reader to complement my N800.

The N800 is perfect for carrying around with me but the new reader will be mainly for home use and not for travel, so screen size needs to be at least 6 inches as the 5 inch readers are not much of an improvement on the 4 inch screen on the N800.

One of the main features I needs is the ability to organise the books in the device as I have a habit of carrying around alot (typically in excess of 100 books, closer to 1000 on occasion), so a function like folder support would be ideal.

Trawling through this forum does not seem to highlight how the readers organise the books. As far as I can see, the majority will have them in a long list organised by author. I really need to be able to filter this to a much smaller list.

I typically would like to filter by author and then series (in there are any) and reduce the number of entries displayed with each selection, hence folder support being a good option for this.

Can anyone tell be which readers have this capability (or a similar method) so that I can decide which to get.

BTW, I live in the U.K., so that rules out readers tied to specific countries like the Kindle.
