Thanks for response, didn't know you were already aware of this one, not a major issue anyway main volume is handled properly.

Should be easy to add, but I don't know if I'll be the one to do it.

Nice work Kolenka, looks like you also are updating the books database when just adding/removing books also. I guess this means that calibre will do the heavy lifting, and the T1 will not need to rescan the books metadata like the file system approach. Because of this, will the Sony firmware will still automatically scan the epub for the cover image and automatically generate it, or will it require the full thumbnail support implemented in new driver?
I also see that you are now using Sony_Reader/media/books as the main file system path on the device instead of calibre. Do you think this will pose any issues for those who use built in features on device? Only reason I ask is I did notice current beta T1 driver is not using this directory and thought maybe there could be a potential conflict if that directory will be shared with Sony desktop clients or the built in Reader Store/Public Library/Google Books features on the device.
In any case, great work with this so far! Really look forward to trying this out.
