I do not know of working examples, but I can think of ways that the previous method could be implemented in a more convenient way. In the old method when a file was tagged to be moved from the SD card to internal memory, the user had to return focus to the internal memory. The inconvenience was that upon returning focus to the internal memory the user was put back into the root of the file system, and then had to navigate back through the folders to get to the place to copy the SD card file to. It would be much easier, IMHO, if there was some mechanism that preserved the previous focus location when moving back and forth between the SD card file system and the internal file system. It would also be convenient to be able to tag multiple files for movement between the two file systems. I really liked the ability to delete a book when I was finished reading it, so that the file system only contained unread books.

Right now, I am pretty happy with the convenience that WinSCP provides for file manipulations, so I never have an SD card in the SD card slot anymore. I think that there is also equivalent software for Mac users, and I imagine that Linux users may already have functionality like that available to them too.
