When I need to have direct access to a file (for example to copy elsewhere a converted file) I just right click "open containing folder".
I'd like to be able to synchronise my ebook reader's SD card with the calibre folder so I can easily add and remove books in calibre without having to manually copy and delete them from the SD card one by one. However calibre's directory structure would be unusable on the DR1000.

I got around this limitation by writing a program that reads the calibre metadata file and uses this information to copy the files to a suitable folder structure of the SD card. The calibre support for the DR1000 seems to be coming along now so hopefully it wont be long until its possible to conveniently synchronise these devices with calibre.
