What's "a pure file system based solution"? All software stores data in a number of
ways to carry out program functions. There is nothing magical about an SQL database.
If a 400mHz jetbook Lite(JBL) can take seconds to build a menu out of the metadata
found in over 7000 ebook files, presumably generating its own index database in the
process, why can't the 1000mHz AuraHD function smoothly with a large number of files
and "shelves"?
You keep mentioning "the needs of a general audience", it certainly could be that the
"must meet all needs" approach is what has given us the current FW - but if you would
read my post carefully you might notice a theme based around the term "simplified".
There are some of us who do not want all the features you think can only be provided
with the current construction of the FW. Some, like myself, would prefer none of these
added features and have all the effort applied to a simpler file selection and reading
environment.
Kobo already made your bloated sometimes functional "general audience" ereader, I am
just asking if someone might consider slimming it down, a lot, and untethering it from
the Kobo servers.
Luck;
