But it's a feature, only Sony 600/700/900 can offer. And they only do it for a single page, which isn't really helpful in my opinion.
Boox has selection zoom(and panning) which is the same as intelligent zoom and it is also persistent. PocketBook also has various zoom functions which are persistent and they will have selection zoom on their touch models. I expect to see more of this with other models as PocketBook integrates its software into the Netronix clones.

The good thing about folder support is that people don't have to use it if they don't want. Not having them available is difficult to justify.

Yes, in fact I consider Kindle to be somewhat less than half-finished. As an ebook vending machine it does its job admirably. As reader of digital files I think its no where near well done.
