If my understanding is correct, the Kobo indexes all ebooks you put onto your reader? Does this include copying via the PC, Calibre and Kobo software? So this in turn means putting your books into a folder structure is a futile effort?

Secondly, is it only PDFs that go into the Documents folder, all other epubs get indexed as an ebook??
The Kobo user interface does not have folders, exactly. There is no hierarchy (that I have seen). The display options are books or documents, and in books, hide or show free books. The books display has the further refinement "I'm Reading" to display books with bookmarks. There are sort options (title, author, and I think date read).

You can choose Books or Documents. Based on my experience, only PDFs are selected when you choose Documents. All other ePubs were displayed under Books.
