eReader that supports folder systems/sub-folders?
I'm looking to upgrade from my Astak EZ Reader Pocket Pro to something a bit nicer, but none of the readers I've looked at seem to support folder systems like my Astak does. The Kobo and others have bookshelves, but they are single-level only, which doesn't work for me. I need an ereader that will use whole directory systems, so I can organize my books as I see fit.

Ideally, I would also like:
6" screen
front-lighting
good screen refresh/page turn rate
sd card

Things that I don't care about at all:
wifi connection
touch screen


Are there any modern readers that fit my specifications? The #1 most important thing is the support for sub-folders.

Look at the Onyx Boox, Pocketbook and Bookeen/Cybook brands.

Thank you for your help, but do you have any specific ereader models to recommend? The brand websites don't tend to mention whether or not each individual ereader supports folder systems.

They all support folders. Every company uses more or less the same firmware for each individual ereader.

After rooting, Android readers like Sony prs T1/T2, Nook etc, can use apps like FBReader, CoolReader etc, that can deal with hierarchical directories.

Kindles and Kobos support folders/subfolders after installing kindlepdfviewer(KOReader).

Kindles also in Duokan.
