Thanks for asking me about the folder-view option. I found it, on the system options tab, the same tab as the date and time, system language, etc. Not exactly where I would put a major view option, but it's there.
Anyhow, it is a somewhat friendly view of the file system. One starts out at the root and drills down, and one sees folder and file names. File names are in two columns, the name and the extension.
In my case, since I had used Calibre to put all my epubs onto the Story, I have a bunch of nicely formatted author names (folders) within which are the epub files. The fb2 and djvu books I copied over manually are just there as files. All my Google Library books are in one folder called "download". Each file name includes at the end the book ID (the 12-character string one can use to retrieve the book on the web). The file names are long, clunky file names, mostly giving a clear idea of what the file is.
The folder and file names are just whatever they are in the file system, in English or in Russian.
So if one creates a clear folder tree with nicely named folders and nicely named files, one has a tree hierarchy that the user can browse through.
At the top of the booklist pseudo-windowhere is a "breadcrumb" path from the root down to the current folder, so one can easily go back up the hierarchy that one descended.
