I use Digital Editions to copy borrowed library books to my eBook reader (Cybook Opus, but I don't think that is relevant).
There are also many other books on the device, which have nothing to do with Digital Editions.
When I start Digital Editions and connect the device, it spends ages looking around books stored on the device
outside the Digital Editions directory, and making lots of annotation files which have no value to me at all.
Meanwhile, it refuses to get on with its job of copying my library books to the device.
Is there any way of preventing this antisocial behaviour by Digital Editions?
