Also, the real benefit of a library is their search capabilities, so you can search Sci-fi books made in the 80's or books with specific tags. You cannot do that on a filemanager (well you could technically but it will be painfully slow).
If you're a calibre user and you want some sort of search metadata capabilities you can try the calibre plugin search. We rely on calibre metadata placed somewhere on the reader so we just need to find recursively for that file and trust that file contents.

I meant a library folder for the hypothetical fonction that would have to search all the books for the dreamed library view, a folder in which the library view could be sure all the books are in, and so avoid to search in the whole system. This was a refrence to what you said in your previous message :

That would be a nice addition, but could be really slow to scan thousands of files on your device

And a search is not exactly what I am after either, but I'll give it a try to see what I can do.
Anyway it doesn't seem there is a good solution for what I want so I'll have to deal with it.
To be honest I'd be much less annoyed at Nickel if the page number was the actual page of the reader and not what I understand to be the "adobe page number" lol.
Thank you all for your answer anyway! (I'm not going anywhere myself so if you have other ideas I'll take them but don't waste too much time with me lol.)
