MobileRead Forums - View Single Post - PRS-505 Advice needed: how to better organize files on PRS-500?

Hello everybody.
I am an avid PRS-500 user and would actually like to use it more than I do. After a year or so, I have to conclude that my reading is confined to books. I would like to use the device for reports and articels also, but what's stopping me is the painful file structure on the Sony. Example: the SD card in my reader is logically organized. Eg, there is a folder called: "articles" on it. However it takes ages to find a Word file that I have placed in that folder simpy because the Sony puts it in its long list of titles and usually messes up the file name also.
Is anybody aware of a method to make the file structure on an SD card visible on the sony? Is there an alternative to Sony's own interface? And if…is there a reader on the market that does work with a better organizable filesystem?
Thanks!
