This is precisely what some of the eBook reading apps in Android do. They search for all possible eBooks on the device which they can read and make it easy for you to import them into the app's library. I'm glad they do this as it is a pain in the backside to look for eBooks manually.

As far as ADE, I suspect this is all that is going on. Adobe has neither the resources nor the desire to spy on what books you read and where you have them stored. I hate to say the obvious and piss you off, but you are over reacting and being unnecessarily paranoid. ADE is not out to spy on you!

As far as name calling, that is a bit uncalled for. We often disagree with one another in these forums and that is cool. But please don't take it to a name calling basis simply because you disagree.
