Diane, The book window can (as any pod) be moved around. Just grab its title bar and move it away from its docked location to a place of your liking. It docks only on places where you see a light blue line underneath the transparent item moved around. But the location and size of the floating book window is not saved in the workspace (at least not in my test). It seams that only docked items ar "stored" in the workspace. IMHO this should be changed! And - IMHO this is a bug - as long as only the book window is open, there is no selection of workspaces possible. One of the last used workspaces is active (and not the one used just before the current session). The workpace selection requires an open document.
