Yes, and that is why I think the idea of being able to do a search
on a catagory would be better than a bunch of different split out
areas like movies, etc, and being able to decide at download time
where you wanted the download to go or have the download go to one
place, but be able to move it to another place after it is
downloaded. For example, the download still goes to the bookshelf,
but, if desired by the user, they could decide to move it to the
audio area. That way you're not adding a lot more areas that, as
you are saying, would create areas that some people might never
use.

Problem with that is not all of us use Saratek, so to have menus
that we're not using would make things messy to navigate through.

I like it. It sure would make getting through a list of 100 or
more books, magazines, and other content a lot easier. Of course,
one thing that would also help would be if the user had more control
over where downloads from Serotek get placed in the scheme of
things. There are a lot of things that one might download from
System Access Mobile Network that really should go somewhere other
than the bookshelf. One example would be that it would seem in some
ways that it would be better of audio discribed movies could be
downloaded and placed in the audio player instead of the bookshelf.
But, there might be some folks who would rather have their movies on
the bookshelf. So, it would be nice to have a choice of placing
them in either place or create a separate catagory for movies and
discriptive video, which would be nice, but it would mean a lot more
work for the developers to do that one.

I also wanted to add to this. I like your idea, David, but I was
thinking about adding to this by suggesting a book search within the
bookshelf for downloaded titles by category, author, title, etc. I
know you can go by author and all books at present, but basically
what I'm thinking is to add to this list, and have an option in the
menu to filter results.
