koreader should be recompiled to allow directories starting with "."
In KPV it used to be in a .lua source file so one could change it without recompiling anything. But now everything has changed so much since the last time I looked at it...
So, now we need a way for koreader to see books on two devices WITHOUT letting Nickel see them. Any ideas?
UPDATE: Maybe we can have another icon "koreader-sd" which starts up reader.lua with "/mnt/sd/.Books"? How do we add a launchable entity to this infrastructure?

Koreader's File Manager does access all of the device and both of the uSD cards. There is only one device. It will let you see "mnt/onboard/" as well as "mnt/sd/" and "mnt/user" even. Just keep pressing the "../" selection, to see the rest of the file system. It is set to see "Hidden" directories/folders that have names that start with ".".
Update: at least it was set "show hidden = true" in filechooser.lua, It must have gotten changed back to = false in the nightly build. I just changed it back to "= true," and can see them all now. It's in: \.kobo\koreader\frontend\ui\widget
"Notepad++" comes in really handy for this sort of thing.
I have it start in that directory/folder of my external uSD card as a matter of convenience, you could leave it at "/mnt/onboard/" or leave it with no argument and it should start in your last read file.
