That very well could be what's happening. It matches what I seem to be experiencing anyway.

One more Montano quesiton if I may. it seesm to do a few seconds of processing when you tell it to import books. what is it doing - I dont' think it is making a file copy - maybe it's doing some indexing ?
|
Indexing probably. I think there's a "generate cover thumbnails" option that can be disable/enabled, as well.[/QUOTE]

I think that both Mantano & moon just make a note of the file path to where the file happens to be e.g. is some download or sideload folder, whereas the Kobo app does actually import the entire book into an SQL database 9 & then ofdfers to delete the otigin file for you )..

Yep. I know with Mantano, if you long-press a title in the library and check the option to delete the book file, it deletes the file from the folder where I did the initial import from. So I'm pretty certain the file's not being duplicated anywhere.
My single Mantano import folder is set to be the same as my Calibre Companion's default folder. After I add a book to CC, I can then import to Mantano. When I delete books in Mantano (having it also delete the file), I just tell CC to scan for missing book files, which then makes it easy to delete their entries in the CC database. I mostly use CC to get the books on my device in a convenient, wireless manner. I don't really use its library fondling/book launching features (although they seem very nice -- before anyone gets mad at me
).
