Copying books which are part of collections shouldn't be a problem, but deleting them will probably make the Reader veeeeery unhappy. That might be hard to fix.

Wow, I haven't been paying attention here -- more interest than I initially thought :-). I'll get off my ass this weekend and move this over to the mobileread dev site, give it a real project, and try to make some coherent combination of some changes I made and gwynevans'.

Also, I did figure out how to do directory traversal ('Iterator' is the function, 'iterator' is the prototype... not sure why I didn't notice that earlier...) which has me considering upending the entire interface. So instead of choosing an operation, one could navigate to a file first, then choose an operation to perform on it. And perhaps one such operation could be "Read," providing the beginnings of a hierarchical interface for accessing the content?
