for example:

book in the folder "MachadoAssis" move to "aaaFavorito".

Not if you move all the files that belong to the book.

Correct -- move the .mbp files as well and bookmarks will remain.

Hi Guys

I'm thinking of trading in my iliad and getting a cybook gen 3, but the only thing holding me back is the directory in the cybook. From the screen shots I have seen the directory shows all the books on one screen (I have 100s of books so this wouldn't be the best for me) . Is there anyway to sort them all easliy?

In folders or something? One of the previous posters said there was a work around of somekind, I would be interested in knowing what it is.

Any help would be great

Thanks

The work around is:
Give your books sensible Filenames like: "Firstname Lastame - Series Name 1 Title. It is not necessary for the next step but it makes life more easy in any case.
Make folders with the name of the author, put the appropriate books in there and sort them on file path. Then you will get all your books sorted by Author and then by Title.

I've tried it but the folder doesn't show, I've tried placing the folder inside the ebook folder and on the root directory still nothing, what I'm I doing wrong?.

The folders don't appear on the library screen, but the books inside them certainly should. The folders need to be created inside the "eBooks" folder.

Harry this is how I have it:

+eBooks
-+David Weber
---David Weber - StarFire 01 - Insurrection.mbp
---David Weber - StarFire 01 - Insurrection.prc
---David Weber - StarFire 01 - Insurrection 6090.t2b
---David Weber - StarFire 02 - Crusade.mbp
etc etc etc

Is that correct?

Yes, that looks fine to me.
