You might try searching or Hanlin or BeBook to look for videos.

The Hanlin is using the same generation of components as the PRS-505, so it is somewhat slower than the PRS-700.

The folders are just Linux directories - setup whatever structure you want. I have not tried symbolic links (to get the same ebook in multiple folders), but they might work too if you have a Linux desktop to set them up from.

A potential problem is that each directory listing is displayed with only 8 items per screen (so that they can be selected using keys 1-8, keys 9 & 0 are mapped to page turning). So a directory with many items in it requires many screens worth of items. This places a premium on nested directories. I currently use genre/author but if there and many authors genre/authors_abc/author, genre/authors_def/author, etcetera might be faster (or add sub-genres). Notre that each "nest" requires another page turn.
