Pardon the long, involved question, but I'm considering jumping from iPad to Droid. I have a large number of ebooks in various formats, and I want them all arranged in one location by category, not each format in its separate app. On the iPad, I was able to do this with the app GoodReader, which although it only read .pdf files itself, had an "Open in" option so I could open, say, a .mobi book in the appropriate app. On Windows, of course, I can do the organization right in the directory, specify an association for a file type and it'll open in the appropriate program.

How does this work on a Droid device? Can I organize my ebooks in the directories themselves and open them using associations, as in Windows, or can anybody recommend an app similar to Goodreader, where I can store and organize ALL of my 2,000-odd ebooks and open them in the appropriate app?
