Not just an auto-add folder, an auto-add folder _tree_. More accurately, don't duplicate data. Use the data from where it's found (like the Sony Software does). My book collection is over 120MB, now it's 240MB.
While that might work well for you, in general it's a lot more robust for the app to maintain the data in its own tree. For example, what if a user adds books from a removable drive? Just search these forums for all the posts about the sony software losing books.
