@leclezio - I do something similar with one of my libraries for similar reasons.

Rather than leaving the 'book' with no formats I drop an empty text file into book details.

When a friend wants a book, they open the book folder, drag the title - author.txt file to their mail client, drop it as an attachment and send it to me, with a suitable 'pretty please can you send me this' message
