I'm pretty sure that this was also one of the the reasons images wouldn't work in in plain html-files, I hope that is now history too.

I don't think they have to do some untangling because they *can* handle file-extensions. They decide according to the extension how to open each of the supported formats (PDF is opened differently than txt) so I am pretty sure that the fact that they require you to use different folders for music and books is just a convention they invented not some technical requirement. It makes sense not to throw everything in one folder and as a nice side effect they do not have to filter out so many files when you are in "book" mode. Try putting an exe (or some other binary extension) into the book folder, you'll see that it won't display. So they *do* handly extensions already...
