It takes a bit of getting used to - the only way I have discovered to work out just what is stored where is by hovering over the files and looking at the status line.

A useful option would be to allow the Book Browser to display by location or by function according to the user's preference.

Good point!

If the files are not required to be by structure, then the default should be Not Shown as IF they were.
Just stick with the OS default file/folder display. Both Windows and Linux offer a right click option to Arrange by Type or Name

Windows has a Group by: There is NO ICON for the grouping description and the list is not indented (I also assume that only a List will be allowed, since list order is important). Ubuntu also has a

Since Folders are allowed: New Folder should allow for a usage choice that provides a folder with the appropriate Icon (and maybe some sort of internal tracking for managing 'actions' use). They also may need to allow nesting (omnibus built by just combining books , no common styles/images/ (can/should NCX, OPF, fonts, be shared?)
