Wrong.

UI structure is not necessarily dependent on file-structure. Scanning trees of dictionaries is fairly fast, no matter how big a reasonable collection of books is. Even the lowest power kindle devices do scanning, indexing, and displaying books fairly well, no matter where in the filesystem you place them.

I am sure, there are many people who wish to see a flat-view. To manage big collections preferably with filtering by metadata for koreader; similar to kindle.

It should be manageable to get a prototype plugin done within weeks. I hope, someone more efficient than me will step up for that job.
