1. Add a "type file" column to the main reader. I would like to be able to sort between epubs and pdfs
2. Change the location of where imported files reside
3. Change the default location of where converted books reside.

I searched the manual and could not find anything to do these things. Did I miss something? Can anyone help? Thanks!!
Do read the FAQ section in the (click)Help
Also do read the stickies in each forum section. Lotsa 'been there, want that' covered

1) You do not need a column showing to filter:
Search formats:PDF or use the Tag Browser: formats section: (click to see just those)
IMHO adding a custom column to show available formats in the grid adds bloat to the db (slows performance a bit)

2 and 3) You can only Move the entire Library (new LOCAL drive or location). Nothing else is allowed (you will break things if you fool around using the OS). In and conversions are stored together
