1. If I understand how CC works correctly, in order to actually read a book, I need to open it from iBooks or another external book reader app. When I hit on "read" on a book within CC, I get asked to which app the book should be copied to. Does this mean that I have to reserve twice the space of my library on my iPad? (once for the books in CC and a second time for iBooks?) If this is the case, it's a tremendous waste of space, which I frankly cannot afford...

2. If the files don't actually get copied but are somehow linked to iBooks without reserving space, how do I perform a mass import? I would have to do the "copy to iBooks" procedure more than 1000 times (once for each book in my library).

Thank you for your time.
I normally just copy the ebooks that I'm actively reading to my reader (I use Marvin). There isn't really a reason to copy them all to the reader.

Before I had CC, I had all my ebooks in Marvin and created a reading list so I would know what books I was reading, or had queued up. The reading list is now the books that I copy to Marvin.
