(Previously only the Mantano database was updated leaving the book in situ.) Once the book has been moved, obviously CC completely loses track of it and it can't be opened in any other reading app.

The new version (2.4.5) of Mantano is a disaster for me. The program is just not functioning correctly, with forced closes and the top and bottom menus not appearing when they should in the book view. But then I've had problems with the program for the last 4-5 versions, with covers on some books failing to show up. I wrote them but they say they can't replicate the problem and I haven't had the time to follow up on it further yet.
But I just tested to see whether Mantano was making another copy of a book and I don't see that. I imported 2 books into Mantano from CC, then deleted the books from within Mantano's library. When I went into CC and did a search for books with missing files, those 2 books show up. So it appears CC and Mantano still use the same book files.
