I think I want a 5 inch reader which makes the choice one of Sony 300, Bebook mini (or other Hanlin clone) and Cybook Opus.

I currently own about 1100 ebooks and confidently expect to buy/create more so being able to organise and find my books is pretty important.

So - which of the 5 inch readers currently have folder support? If any doesn't have folders right now, are there reliable plans for that to change?

Can you have nested folders inside other folders?

Does the built in software allow for arranging the books in "bookshelves" or "reading lists" like the mobi desktop software? Or is it folders or nothing?

Also I believe the Sony does not have an SD slot, but the Bebook mini does? Does the Opus? If so, is there any difference between reading off the SD card and reading from internal memory? Is the card just another location among many folders or is it like having 2 entirely separate libraries?

Thanks!
