There is Favorites function.
Just select one book and place it in favorites.
Then long press OK in favorites and add directories.
Add more books from memory and card.
Then connect the reader to the PC, go to the /System/ directory and find *.flk file.
For each book placed into Favorites there is one [random_string_name].flk file created.
Inside file you find simple link to file, such as /mnt/ext2/Sir Arthur Conan Doyle/Holmes/Omnibus.txt

I am surprised that nobody has come up with a Calibre plugin or a simple script that would generate such files. Here you can have as many "symlinks" as you wish ;-)
I am pretty sure that it would be possible to write a short (<50 lines) shell script using 'find' 'sed' 'awk', or a python or pearl script that would genereate *.flk files for you from a directory.
