So you turn on the machine, or go to the main menu, and you see 20 folders and a little box at the bottom of the screen, you simply type '15' <OK>, and you go into the 15th folder. From there, the same thing. The search box is already open and waiting for you to type in "7" <OK> and go into the seventh book listed, and begin reading.
It's much better than only have 8 options. The only reason they did that was because they had 10 numbered buttons with 2 of them mapped to Pg Fwd and Pg Bck. In my opinion, they should have disabled 9 and 0 as Pg buttons when in the menu, this way they could have added 2 more folders/books per page.

Yes that could work but requires more key presses. Using your example it takes three presses to select 15. For the current system you would press 0 to get to the next page and then 7, only 2 presses.
The 9 and 0 are useful when you have multiple pages of choices. For your case of 20 on the same page, how would you get to the 21st?
