Hmm... This is largely a matter of personal approach to how abstract the program should be with the accessing of media that the program provides the user. There is an approach that holds that the user should not be bothered with the fact that ebooks are files, at all. Such as used by calibre and the stock Kobo software. To create this abstraction, some sort of database is used and a reference to the files is used to address the ebooks, instead of the actual files themselves.

A number of us are used to dealing with files and file structures directly. In fact, this difference in approach is one of the main reasons some of us choose KOReader over the stock software. The new User Interface (UI) improvements do look good and while they can be viewed as adding some abstraction to the process, it is still a File Browser that travels through whatever file structure you are using.

Luck;
Ken
