I am using a hierarchical directory structure on T2, but I never have to browse very far.
I am always in Cool Reader. So I am reading a book. Then I click on a hardware button where I have "Recent Books" conveniently mapped. The list (or rather the stack) of last opened books appears. Here I can switch to another book, as I like reading many books at once. But also I can get directly to the actual directory of any book on the list.
If I want to open a new book, I don't have to navigate very far, I can choose where to start. Or in a case of the next book in the series of the same author - no navigation required.

So the thing I really want in a file manager: a stack (of unlimited length) of last read books, and the possibility to get from it to the folder of any book in it.

However, even if there is no file manager, I hope that at least the list of last opened books of an unlimited length is available on Aura right now?
For example, if the list of all the books can be sorted by the time they were last opened.
It is certainly possible even on not rooted T2.
Such a list is needed to be able to read many books and switch between them.
If you only have several last opened books on the home screen (desktop), or even a list of 30 books (as on PB902) - it is not enough. On PB, I have to count how many books I still can open without losing a book from that list of 30 and then perhaps forgetting that I am still reading it
