I'm afraid I don't yet have a way to change settings from within Trook itself, but you can directly modify the preferences file on the nook. I've added a section on how to update these settings to the FAQ

Trook currently works in a very simple way, just using file folders to group things (and I'll update the root menu in the next revision to include the sdcard -- something I'd missed out entirely.)

However, trook also reads any xml files you place in these folders as "a catalog", and you can use this trick to point to other folders and books, or additional catalog files. This becomes an alternate way to navigate through your books, in addition to folders.

For instance, you can copy a file called sdcard.xml to your "my documents" folder, with the following contents

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<feed xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom">
  <id>file:///my documents/sdcard.xml</id>
  <title>My sdcard</title>
  <entry>
    <title>Sdcard root</title>
    <link type="trook/directory" href="file:///sdcard"/>
    <id>file:///sdcard</id>
    <content type="text">Here is my sdcard</content>
  </entry>
</feed>

and you will now have a way to get to /sdcard etc.

Also see Xenophon's neat ideas above. I hope to spend some time on (a simple) way to dump Calibre's catalog database, so one can at least explore the Calibre exported books in more ways than just via folders. But as they say... don't tip the waiter until the meal is finished, so let's see how it goes

Please definitely take a look at the nookLibrary project over at nookdevs. It's made exciting progress, as nookLibrary integrates far more tightly with the B&N library, and provides a much more consistent experience with the stock B&N library manager; so it's taking a very promising direction.
