Is this mainly an academic issue where you might have many papers/reference documents active at any one time? Not trying to be confrontational just one of those issues that's not a big deal for me, but it is for others and I'm trying to understand it better.

I thought it wasn't possible to search across multiple pdfs in the Kindle DX? Has that changed? If so, huzzah! If not, and you have fifty articles on various issues having to do with RNA Polymerase, you're going to have a fun time finding the five on crystal structures of murine RNA Polymerase. If you could stick those five in a separate folder, that would help. It wouldn't be as good as the search function, but it would be better than nothing.
You can search across .azw documents in the DX (at least since you can do that in the K2 I'd be very surprised if you couldn't in the DX) so search could somewhat substitute for folders for those documents. But even for those I don't know that you can search on, for instance, read versus unread. Or fantasy versus historical.
I sure wish I had folders on my K2 and if I had a DX I'd want them there too.
