So, to have something to do besides drive my hubby crazy I am going to get some books organized. I'm sure this is a simple question, but do both of these devices support multiple layers of folders/files? For example, can I have
Harlequin Romance
2008
Jan
Feb
etc.
2009
Jan
Feb
etc.

If I can't have that many subfolders, how many can I have?

Thanks to everyone for all your help in deciding on two readers! Here's hoping the UPS guy gets here early Monday.

I don't think there is a limit other than the "root" (/) (\ in Windows)

You only have 3 levels deep shown
I run 4 levels using Calibre to manage them as the index paging only shows 8 at a time.
Code:
00noseries/{author_sort[0]}_author/{authors}/{title}-{id}


00NoSeries
.....A_Authors {last_Name_ Initial}
............. [all A authors Full Name]
.................... [Title by A Authors (folder)]
..........................[Book Versions for title]
.....B_Authors
............. [all B authors Full Name]
.................... [Title by B Authors (folder)]
..........................[Book Versions for title]

.....C_Authors
...


So Page#1 of the index shows:
A_Authors
B_Authors
C_Authors
D_Authors
E_Authors
F_Authors
G_Authors
H_Authors

Pick a system that is easy to navigate. Keeping in mind that there are only 8 visible items per page. (Calibre can not automate your example. It has 2 dates it can use. Published and Added, but not a finer break-out)
