Looking for 5" eBook Reader in Canada
My Beloved Pocketbook 360 has passed away. I need to find another super portable eBook Reader. I would love to get their new Pocketbook Mini or the Cybook Opus; but I'm not sure how to get one in Canada. Is there another 5" eBook Reader which I could purchase from Canada that has folders? I'm too use to them to give them up.

Thanks, I'll try calling during their limited hours. My email sent last week hasn't been answered, yet so I'm not sure how much US staff they have.

An alternative would be the Kobo Mini, which is also a 5" reader. With Calibre you can import shelves that are retained. Folders work insofar that the books in them are found, but as far as I know the structure is not used (the books aren't divided by folder; you'd need to use shelves for this).

@Justy: you may try and PM Forksigan on this site, as he is always super helpful (at least in my experience).

Mivo, the folders structure in the Pocketbook is like in a computer, so IMHO the Mini is not comparable. If Rusty can get the Pocketbook Mini, it will have the same firmware as the other Pocketbooks (read: great firmware), which is far more flexible than the Kobo Mini's.

Having said that, after the first adjustment period for me when I switched to the Kobo Mini after my own Pocketbook 360 "passed away" I am a very happy customer - and it was easy for me to get used to shelves/tags.
