I originally added the bulk of my books by transferring them from my PC to the the root "Books" folder, using the USB C-USB A cable I bought. In the root folder, they were organized into either "Fiction" or "NonFiction" folders, further sorted into additional subfolders.
The Book tab at the top (I guess that should be referred to as the "Bookshelf"?) would not display my books in that preferred order... so I ended up using the file manager to rename my folders - starting with fiction or nonfiction at the start of the name and getting rid of the top level fiction/nonfiction folders.
Anyway... it's so weird that those folders all show up when I browse with the Mimas file manager. The books are all there, in their appropriate folders just the way I renamed them. And they show up under the Books tab, divided into the folders I made.
They just don't show up when I try to transfer books and click on that same Books folder in the root. It's perplexing.
I am able to see all of my other folders in the root, along with all the materials inside each folder... and I can transfer those files, delete them, move them etc. Just not Books.
It's an annoyance because I can't put the books into the folders where they belong when I transfer the files from my PC. Instead, I put the books I wanted to add into the Books folder, but then I later have to cut and paste each file on the device to move them to the appropriate folders. That is not a big deal when I transfer just a few, but it becomes frustrating if I want to transfer a lot of books.
I'm not sure if your post was in reply to mine, but in case it is -- I do not have a micro SD card in my Mimas.

Sounds like the Bookshelf thing indexed them and moved them somewhere or an issue with MTP is happening. Do you have the play store, if so get the app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...tware.explorer and look at the book folder with that and if it's empty go to the root of the sdcard (mount point in android for internal unlike EXT_SDCARD) then in the top right tell it to search and put in a filename of a book exactly as you know it with extension and let it search for it.
