The method that you have outlined has not been implemented yet.
File manager is not something that developers team need to develop, the reason Amazon and others don't want file manager has nothing to do with ease or difficulty of its development, because it is already there, it has to do with their desire to protect their content. Operating systems that run reading devices all have file management system, it is a choice of management to close this system from user and offer instead artificial extra layer for "convenience". I am sure designing shelf and database construct is far more laborious than using existing file manager. It is a matter of choice, not resources.
