I had no intention of using the built in launcher. I wasn't married to using Nova, but I had no intention of ever using the stock as it's pretty much the dictionary definition of what I dislike in launchers. For what it's worth, my preference is as close to a desktop experience as possible, adapted for platform.

My filesystem covers everything I typically look for. The only less than optimal case is multiple authors on the same book since that would be represented as "X & Y" so a straight sort of folders wouldn't show it under "Y". I don't do keyword searches because I honestly don't care about anything they'd contain beyond genre, and I have such a limited taste when it comes to genre, I can pretty easily memorize what genre goes to what title.
Series though, I did address specifically in my file path convention.
But yes, I definitely get that it's not for everyone, but I wasn't recommending it for anyone. My only real reason for mentioning it was to give sort of a background info for why I wanted to set up the device in this specific way.
