I am not user of Freda on phone but do use the PC version and keep alert to its overall general development.
As you are probably aware the only options you have to get books into Freda's Library with the Windows Phone version, apart from the cloud and direct downloads from web sites, seem to be a wireless connection with Calibre, emailing the book to the phone or loading the book onto the phone's SD card (the SD card option not being available on the Lumia 920 though).
While, as has been pointed out, you can now browse the mass memory, as far as I know you still cannot assign a default App to .epub for execution.
I think all the above is common (although it is not a limitation with Windows 8.x on PCs), as I think you have found.
If not done already, I would suggest emailing Jim Chapman at Turnipsoft (if his email is not in the App, it is available at the bottom of his web site's opening page). He may throw some light onto where he is going with this matter or suggest some solution. I understand that Microsoft have been providing him with assistance in development so he can likely clearly express what the difficulties are in accessing mass memory.
As well as the link in these forums that DoctorOhh has provided, have you tried the Nokia Support Discussions Nokia Lumia Forum

I am a user of this very good application; as far as I am aware it is currently only for Windows 8.x RT and Windows 8.x PC but would be worth checking with Marty_B as to his future intentions.
