Any Android device allows apps to sweep the storage folders for any files stored there, and any self-respecting ereader app (and other apps that are supposed to do things with all of any particular type of files) will offer to do so. Because Android has shared file storage the same way computers do.
ah, so you see I am a noob on all things iOS. Well, damn nuisance, but good to know that at least it is on the cards...
