MobileRead Forums - View Single Post - E-book Viewer Updates "Date Modified" on File. Why?

Just curious here - I happened to notice that when I open an epub file in the viewer, it touches the file (i.e. updates the Date modified) in Windows 7. I don't think it's changing the contents of the file at all...

Not that I'm nervous about it, but just wondering what it's doing when it does so. I thought that maybe the Viewer would be read-only.
