I am "the rupor" and yes - I came from Russia, but I live in the US.

Basically there are 2 ways of doing it - simple and guaranteed. You could see examples in "ebookdownloader/EBookDownloaderView.java" - one is completly async, but requires book to be in the device database already (so it reading application just brought this book from somewhere it will fail), another one requires connection to ContentManagement service and waiting for the completion.

SonyBookSelector selector = new SonyBookSelector( this );
long l = selector.getContentId( path );
if( l != 0 )
{
    selector.setReadingTime( l );
    selector.requestBookSelection( l );
}
else
{
    selector.selectBook( path );
}
