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.
