A hint of something I figured out.. If you like to try and keep your files more organized on the blip I started by adding a folder called books then I added my downloaded ebooks in there. I was also able to put other folders of collections of books or series into the books folder. That way I only have one folder that shows in the main pages.
Amazon uses unique DRM on their books that is not compatible with MOBI so non-DRM'd books will work but unfortunately Amazon locks the vast majority of their books. While we cannot discuss it here, there is a way to break the DRM on Amazon books in AZW format although not in TPZ format. See the wiki for details on these formats. Try a web search of DRM issues.
