Does anybody know of a way to get books to download to the books directory rather than the root? Or should I not be concerned? I was hoping never to have to hook up my Reader to the computer, as I read quickly, and usually don't have a big backlog of "books to read".. I just load what I feel like reading next after finishing each book. so I'd have to hook up every other day or so.
The reason I'm posting this here is that when I first tried downloading from the Content Server, I thought it wasn't working because the book I downloaded didn't show up in the Last Added Book spot on the EBR home page.

For some reason, the books downloaded by this method don't show up as Last Added Books on the Home Page (I'm using Sony 950 and PRS+ version 2.0).

The books do show up in Browse Folders, and in Books and Book History AFTER I pull up the book from Browse Folders. In addition, if you start reading one of the downloaded books, it will show up in Continue Reading.
