Well, putting books by folders doesn't work on the Sonys either (you either need a Firmware hack or use the "collections" which work somewhat like folders but which are actually just tags).
Connecting to the PC with the Sonys works quite well, allthough I find there are some hiccups, too. If you connect the reader, Sonys software always pops up. The windows file dialog does, too. As the 600 uses a separate partition of the readers memory for the software installation files (instead of a bundled CD), 2 windows file dialogs pop up. So if you "securely" disconnect (not just unplugging from the PC), you have to close 2 drives. I tried to prevent the startup of the Sony software with the effect that my reader wasn't recognized by the PC anymore, even after allowing the start up of the program again. I had to reset the reader.
So there are glitches with all readers right now, I assume. Maybe in a couple of reader generations, all of them will perform the "basic" stuff just really right.
But let's know how the reader handles, how the files get displayed.... You know, all the stuff that is interesting for us others not having an Iriver.
Take care
