I put my books in folders manually on my Kobo Clara HD without having Calibre do the synching. I see how I can find books by filename or Calibre metadata, but how could I find them with the metadata already stored in the files? All of the files have titles, subtitles, authors, descriptions, but the "find" functions on Koreader seem to ignore that, unless Calibre wrote that information on the device.

Does anyone have a (simple) solution for finding and sorting books easily by the embedded book metadata on Koreader?
