Drag and Drop of arbitrary files is not a good idea. The drag and drop
action has no way of telling the user what is about to happen, therefore
surprising things should not happen. For example, dropping an image or a
link or an executable file onto a book should not add it as a book
format. Therefore, it is restricted to only ebook formats.
