ideally, we will get, or collectively build a table which shows for each reader app, how the " read" button in CC is handled.
and for 2 cases ( unless they turn out to have exact same outcomes): 1. CC download folder is in main memory. 2. CC folder is on SD card a probable further complication: some android versions/devices allow apps to be installed to or moved to SD card So, the full combinations nightmare to analyse is location of CC app: internal or on SD location of reader app: ditto & for each format, if multiple formats/readers are in use CC download folder: internal or SD I have made several attempts to read googles files provider/content provider coding rules, which the new CC is trying to adhere to , but they are written for a target audience of expert coders. Let's just say it's messy. the old CC "read" action just told the reader app where the book file was - no extra copies were made, but google wants to put an end to that behaviour could be that folks who always (re)opened a book from within CC for reading will have to change their ways |

install an old version and block updates. that's the only way to keep a feature that Google ( not cc) decided has to go
but then you have to live with whatever bugs are present in the old version. On the bright side, you'll never have to pay a subscription |
