And then did no one at iRex consider the possibility that a user might just sort of like to organize their books into categories and folders?

I'm also very surprised that it's not possible to jump to a page number. Is this feature present in the iliad or DR1000?
I think the removal of the folder support was a conscious decision, considering that they supported this in their previous readers. The DR800's manual says you can search for book titles/authors in the home screen, and you can also click on the index bar to jump to a specific letter. Well, this may be good enough in theory, but c'mon, the folder paradigm is ingrained in many computer users, you should at least give us the option to still use folders.
