So, hello Mobileread peeps. Been lurking around here, googling for solutions for various issues and questions I had. Very useful site.
Now, this is a small thing that has been irking me, and I tried to search for it, and couldn't find anything. If this has been answered, then I'm sorry and would be grateful for a link.

I keep adding pdfs to my eReader, which I read exclusively with koreader (the inbuilt pdf reader is ... not very good). However, they keep cluttering the Nickel list of books on the device, as it scans everything I add over USB.
So is there someway of putting stuff from my PC to my Kobo, such that I can read them in koreader, but Nickel doesn't "see" them. Some directory, perhaps that isn't scanned? I thought about changing file endings, but I don't know if that would also mess with koreader.
