I was afraid of that. I'd rather not make any changes to users' books but it does seem like the cleanest approach given the limitations of the device driver. The X-Ray files can also be somewhat large (1MB for A Game of Thrones, a 3MB eBook file, uncompressed at least).

I like the concept of your second idea, but the duplication is a definite downside.
I'll have to give it some more thought and decide which would make the most sense.

If I simply go with my second option, is there a generic file-chooser dialog that I can use when I set up my preferences or would I need to create a new dialog class (so the user can select the path to my program)?

Thanks for your input!
