Comment 10 for bug 858957

Imagine that someone reads a detective novel in which the identity of murderer is revealed on the last page. He then closes the ebook and submits it to a friend, recommending lecture. The friend then opens the book and finds out who is the murderer.

ebook-viewer should by default, as the name suggests, be used only to view ebooks, not to modify them; checksum should be unchanged. If ebook-viewer wants to modify an ebook, it should be explicitly approved by the user (perhaps once per ebook or per installation, as danmbox suggests). Or the program name should be changed to something less missleading.
