I agree with you entirely. It's worth bearing in mind that the Reader's lack of a hierarchical file system view is almost without a doubt due to Sony's fear that it would be too complex for Wood's Mother-in-Law to use, not due to their technical inability to implement it. We may regard such things as trivial, but they are "scary" for non computer geeks. I gave my parents an old PC a few years ago, for example, and
everything they've used it for is in "My Documents", despite my explaining the benefits of "folders". Just one long list of files is the way they like it!
