Can you explain the difference and the rationale (why are they not shown)?

"Books" is not a folder view, it is a TAG. Everything that is tagged as a Book is shown when you click 'Books' from the Home screen as a flat list.
There are two ways to get tagged as a book:
1) Be located inside the Books folder
2) Have one of the following hardcoded (ctb/src/tags.c) extensions: pdf, epub, pdb and *not* be inside one of the other tag folders (Images, News, Notes, Help, Personal Documents)
In the SD card, it shows all files that are registered in GConf as valid filetypes.
There is currently no way to tell which extension should get which default TAG (it's hardcoded). That may be a nice future improvement (as part of the filetypes GConf tree, e.g. /apps/er/sys/ctb/filetypes/*/default_tag). If anyone feels like implementing that, they could contribute it and we'd gladly integrate.
