How do you organize content on the 800? Does it allow for folders or collections (using tags)?

As far as crushing any ebook reader, at that price (which is what a casual browser looks at first), it's competing with the iPad as well (along with the Sony 900 and Kindle DX)! Many may find not being able to use a finger to "touch" , like on their phone or iPod Touch (and iPad), awkward, unnatural, and outdated. Those who are tech-savvy understand the reason for lack of finger touching.

Lack of features (found in competitor devices) has already been discussed and dismissed by some.

Yes, I know the screen is much clearer than the Sony devices that have touchscreen. I bought my Sony 900 because nothing on the market offers the feature set that it does, content organization being at the top of the list. I'm always in the market for something significantly new and improved, so I'm not bashing the 800. If I could buy something with a comparable feature set to the Sony 900, greater touchscreen clarity, and quality build, I would likely purchase it.
