Unfortunately it did not work. It hid the directory "books" in the operating system. But it also hid it when I was trying to open the directory from Cool Reader.

I then renamed the directory on the sd card to .books. And when I closed out of Cool Reader, which forces a reboot (not reset), the scanning process started (and is taking a long long time). I only have books in the .books directory so it could only be scanning for that.

So in summary, it hid directory named books from both nickel and Cool Reader. But renaming the directory to .books still seemed to trigger a scan for importing content on a boot up. Firmware I am on is the latest - 4.18.13737
Ok, I'll make you another build. I think one of the recent changes messed up the process detection. But, if you still have it named .books, you can just use the zip from the beginning of the post, which I know works (unless it's a problem with the way cool reader is launched).
