You can actually "kill" the app if you go into the configuration (upper right - more - applications - all applications) and kill it, but it will not remember your current status if you do.
If you bring it back up from the background it should go right back where it was when you switched tasks.
BTW I just downloaded and installed this app as well as Aldiko (they finally fixed the rotation crash!) and I'm liking it - Mantano so far but have not done much with it yet.

Thanks for the explanation Kenny. Since I changed the sync setting to only sync with the one folder, it doesn't stay running anymore. Before it was set to sync with /mnt which is the parent folder of the sdcard, so I think it was scanning my whole usable partition.
Most of my books are .mobi so I really don't use Mantano. I was trying to get some newsfeeds from Calibre. I had them sent to my email address as epubs cause the mobis didn't show up good. But now I found an app called US Newspapers. It links to the papers' web site and you can add your own sites too.
It's nice to know I have Mantano if I want it for something in epub that doesn't show up right in mobi. I like choices.
