If CC new company decides to hire a dev they can implement the last part of https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...30&postcount=6 in 10 minutes and move on (or give sound reasons if they consider it a bad idea). Until then CC users are suggested to rollback to 5.4.4.1 (or any version lower than that) or live with the read button making copies.
This is why MR makes copies:

The API's rules for google require us to hand off a file to the reader, we can not pull from CC folder books. We are looking into the effort it might take to return to only reading the CC book file.
if you want to complain then do it to google. Any new or updated app will have to meet the google api.
