True, but on the flip side, I think it is nice if there is an additional layer of abstraction involved. After all, some books might be simple text files, where others might be a directory with several sub-directories. While this will cause no problem for a techie, it might lead to a certain amount of confusion for others. So a library gui and or a synching function where all one sees are the books they own and which exist on the device probably is a useful feature.
