The below won't solve your problem, but you might be able to put the info to good use.

Couldn't there be a way to browse and input a directory into a field.

If you look at the book details window you will see
Path: Click to open Hovering over it will tell you the path to the directory in a tooltip. Clicking this link will open the directory where that book is stored (see attached).
There is no reason you can't place the associated files for a ebook in that directory. Also using the
"Open with" GUI plugin you can set up a right click that will allow you to open that book in an external program (see attached for how my plugin is setup).
I know this seems backwards for Video courses but some books come with small linked multimedia files and the linking works easier with the associated file(s) in the same directory.
Just some thoughts. Since I haven't had the need to try this it might be rubbish.
