How can I display file types in the Books app?

Hello, is there a way to have Books display the file type along with the title in the main screen. I know I can view all pdfs or all epubs in the left pane... however, when I am in the right pane I would like to be able to distinguish epubs from pdfs. Is this possible?

PDF don't open within Books (macOS) How can I read PDF (imported) within the Books app in macOS (Ventura)? They are either opened in Acrobat Reader (set as standard app for .pdf) or in preview even when set Books as standard app for .pdf but never within Books itself. So I can't sync notes, last location etc. across devices (iPad & Mac).

Apple Books only shows first page in each chapter I downloaded an epub on my Mac then copied it to Books on an iPad using he sync feature in the Finder. When I read the book on the iPad it only shows text on the first page. Going to the next page shows the dirt page off the next chapter. If I make the text smaller Books still shows a full page of text. The text is there, but Books will only show one page of it. It does the same on the Mac.

Link to PDF which is stored in Apple Books? I sometimes want to link to a PDF document that I have saved in Apple Books. E.g.: I have a note or a reminder in which I want to refer to a pdf document which itself is stored in the books app. Clicking on the link would then open the PDF within the books app. Is there really no way how I can achieve this? (Mac or iPhone)
