EReaders don't even have the elegance of Windows Explorer, with filenames in a neat list & resorted by date or filetype with a single click.

If you put the entire Baen CD collection of ebooks on an ereader--limited to a single format of choice--how would they be sorted? Folder per CD, so you wade through a couple-dozen folders, trying to remember which CD name corresponds to which series? How are the ebooks organized inside the folders--is it easy to note sub-series, or are they all in filename order, or renumbered in chrono order, or release-date order?
The entire Baen CD collection (EPUB) IS on my PEz
There are 2304 books on my SD card.

The layout of your folders (and number of files within) may be the cause of the overload?
Attached is the layout I use. Root folders are shown on the Left pane.
