Re: ebook-reader permissions - no explanation given

Andrew,

I'm not sure how the app is working with all those permissions revoked.
Also I'm not sure why the app doesn't even *ask* me for any permissions.

I think I'm starting to understand that behaviour.  While googeling my ass
off in regard to how all of this works I ran across a forum post which
mentioned that the file-browser (used by the ebook app) is running with its
own permissions.  At that time I could not understand it, 'cause why would I
want to be able to select a file which the app which requested the file
could not read it ?  Sounds stupid, right ?

But later on I came across another tidbit of information, which said that a
file selected thru the filebrowser for an app is automatically cleared for
usage by that app - regardless of what permissions the app itself has.

Which does match the experience I had when selecting text and html files
that where not within the "storage scope" I set for the epub reader app.
It also explains your experience of not getting permission related
questions - as the file you selected was already cleared for usage (by the
file picker).

Boy, I really could have used some noobs information explaining that ...
