I've found a way to get books onto my ASUS eeepad by cut-and-paste in the file manager to copy them from an external USB stick into the /sdcard/ directory, which seems not to be anything in the sd slots on the machine, but something built inside it. Indeed, the initial free Alice in Wonderland book was there, too, so it seems that that's where the books app looks for its books.
However, almost all of the apps on the app store demand read and write access to sdcard, and many also want complete internet access. Now quite a few documents are *not* to be made freely available worldwide, such as confidential information and copyrighted works. How can I control this? On my regular Linux box, I keep them in my personal file tree, with my personal user ID, and I disallow group and world read rights. Even my web server can't read them then. But there seems to be no usable access control on the eeepad, despite Android's capability architecture. Am I missing something? -- hendrik -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Discuss" group. To post to this group, send email to [email protected].
