Metadata is absolutely superior to navigate with on a ereader or reader app than a file browser:
On a Kobo ereader Calibre can set Author and Title, which as minmum should be in the ebook. It also can have publisher info and a comment/blurb/synopsis. All this can be seen in the ebook on the ereader.
Additionally Calibre can set Series and Subtitle for a Kobo.
An ebook can be in zero, 1 or many Collections.
On the actual Kobo ereader you can browse by Books (Title), Author, Series and Collection.
Sort on Books(Titles) can be by Recent, Date Added, Title, Author, Series, File Size or File Type.
Also you can search for a word or phrase and it checks the metadata of Title, Author, Series, Collection and Subtitle.
This makes file browser based ebook interfaces look stupid. In fact computerised document management systems, video rental, book libraries etc have worked like this for 40 years.
