Bypassing Calibre and Nickel altogether is an intriguing option. To be clear johnnyb, this hidden folder method is intended for PDF's only?
You're welcome!
The method is intended for any files that you don't want Nickel to see.
You could also call it "Books" and then differentiate between different types within. To be clear: this is just to facilitate the use of both Koreader and Nickel at the same time. If you never start up Nickel it doesn't matter whether it will see your PDFs or not.
As for bypassing Nickel completely: ususally, when you're on Koreader, sending the device to sleep should do just that. When you wake it up, it resumes with Koreader automatically. Only when you turn it off completely will you be sent back to KSM to make your selection. There may be scripts that you could have KSM launch that facilitate booting to Koreader, but I haven't tried anything of that sort yet.
