All right, to save some time, only the first mention of it I found. There were further ones.
Go to Bookeen's blog, to this post, made on October 7, 2007:

Go to comments.
Go to Bookeen's comment, made on October 9, 2007 (it's 25th, not counting the deleted ones).
Its text is:

Hello everyone,
I confirm that the device will be available during the 3rd or the 4th weeks of october.
The folder support is currently in discussion. If it is not available for the release, it will be available in further upgrade.
Concerning the price:
Pricing is not an easy task, especially when we ship our goods from Europe. We have to take in account the european VAT, the shipment price, the local warranty limitations, our internal cost which are in Euros, the different localization costs and the volume expectations for each country.
If we compare with standard practices in the CE industry, our pricing remains fair.
For example Apple proposes higher prices in Euro than in US dollars on their Apple store, Sony does the same with the PS3, Archos (a french company) proposes the same price in Euros and USD on their online store.
We do consider that proposing the best price is very important to develop our market and we hope that both european and worlwide sales will enable us to work in this direction.
Best regards to all of you,
Michael for Bookeen

So, as you can see, on October 9, 2007, one of Bookeen's employees, speaking for Bookeen, divulged to the wide world that folder support might show up even in the initial release.
