I am not so sure about that 'not master' thing.
(But then, why would they even bother to edit it)
Day after day, I see posts of users that not only don't keep alternate formats, but insist on cleaning the library of any book sent to the device
True, I belong to the user type that keep (OK, HOARD) my (E or Paper) books, so I don't understand the need to instantly nuke a format/book that is read or transferred.
But some do.
My vote : Tweak should be blocked in device view, at least there should be a permanent nag screen.-
If you want to check a book that is on the device, View does work upon the device view copy.
