Certainly you can with the Boyue Likebook Mars, and likely similar Android 8.1 models. Even many Android phones and tablets don't have a filebrowser. The one pre-installed on the Mars seems fine. Actually unlike the Kobo it has poor library features, no global title search, no collections and no series. But it does have a file manager and also the Library app has a Most Recently Used page and browses by directory. There is also search and subdirectories.

You can search the storage via USB from a laptop too, though sadly it's slow MTP mode rather than mass storage.

Even a 7" 300 dpi is too small for most technical PDFs. The Mar 6.8" is too small for magazines and A4 / Letter technical documents. So you either spend €150 on a 10" LCD tablet, or €400 on a larger one, or insane money for 10" to 14" approximately eink. Some of the larger eink are ONLY really for PDFs.
