Obviously the Ereader needs polishing regarding the OS. But I'm not waiting on them to fix its short comings.

I messed with it for a few days to figure out its software limitations. Tried 3 or 4 different reading apps. Then remembered how good the software on my PB360 was a long time ago. I installed the Pocketbook reader. Its file structure for management isn't any better. As in listing by genre then author and then book title etc. But with the help of Calibre it's doable.

I use this template.{tags:re([\.],/!)|!|}/{authors[0]}/{authors}/{series}/{series_index:0>5.2f| |-}{title}

Then when you go into the Mars filemanager app and click External (using an SD card) you click Books and all your books are in their own folders. Genre/FirstLetterofAuthorsName/
AuthorName/SeriesName/NumberinSeries&BookName

Pocketbook is a great reader once you figure out the settings. As long as you setup Calibre right. The books interact with the Recently read and Recently Added. Loving the Mars now that I have this setup properly.

Now I just have to figure out how to install a dictionary.
