Library instead of file browser
#2
It seems like this is just a library that every other app implements. We opted against this during the initial design stages because the folder structure itself is an organizing utility. My philosophy has always been that if you are reading offline files, you are managing it through Windows explorer, and hopefully the reader will organize the folders there.

Secondly, there is a soft limit on Windows Store apps (at least for us) for the amount of items you can save in a "library" (it's 1000 files, imposed by Microsoft). I say soft limit because there are ways to get around this but we don't really want to implement a hack to get around this. In addition file access is highly restricted in store apps, we don't actually have free access to the file system, that why we force you to go through the file picker to pick root directory.

So sorry to say but it is not likely we'll add a library function. The good news is the file browser will be vastly improved in the next build, including read status, favorites, most recent, and sorting. The closest thing we can probably do for you is to allow you to favorite a folder. How does that sound?

and thanks for the continued support!
