Is there a way to link to books stored in the device memory and not a storage card? I was looking for "Root Explorer" instead of "Astro" as a choice for "Action" / "Other", but it's not there.

Edit: Duh, never mind. Changed my preferred home directory in Astro to "/" instead of the default "/sdcard".

Edit: This is fabulous! I'm able to easily use my book covers as icons because when I select the book, the cover image (in a separate file) is there as well (thanks to calibre!). Some images look better than others depending on the source.

Ha, Ha, Ha...Take that Barnes and Noble! We don't need your homescreen for our sideloaded books!
