I think you can, but I have never had reason to try, so I don't really know
how. If you think you can do it then try, but be sure to back up the
contents of your card first. This might also be a question better asked on the
VRStream users list.

A question. I orgazize my Bookshare books on a Ghn in
sub-folders on my SD card. I have quite a lot of books so this
really help. Can you divide up books, say, alphabetically by
folder in the Vr stream also, or will that screw things up?
