Thank you all for the feedback. I've done somemore searching, testing on the iPad and will sumarize :
A) iPad will download more than one folder deep (I did not get enough data first).
All folders below the top folder will be 'mixed' with the top folder pictures.
B) There is no known way at this time to sync picture folders as you would in a PC.
C) By doing some funky stuff with picture creation dates and names you could get pictures in one folder to be ordered the way you want. For ten pictures maybe worth it, for 1000's forget it.
In summary, the iPad is much better than my PRS-500 for eBooks, pretty good for a lot of other things but is totally useless as a means of showing my photos which was one of the main reasons I bought it. I'm not hitting on Apple users here, but there are a lot of people out there using Windows and it's a shame that Apple (iPad) didn't take that into account.
