The thing is that books are packages. And on the Newton, packages are
relocated.
That's why I talked of various methods. There isn't any system call
(well, I think there is one but it's not easy to use) to do that
relocation. So all these software do it their own way. Last time I
saw SimpleMail and PkgBuddy code they were both forgetting something
(not the same thing). For most packages, both work, but as far as I
know there isn't any method we have the source code of that perfectly
relocates packages.
