The first time I ran PageTurner, I already had lots of books (epub) on my sdcard. I was immediately presented with the option to scan the SD card for books. This seemed like a harmless and useful thing to do, so I said yes.

I had no idea it was going to copy all these files (gigabytes of them) to its own directory, and take over half an hour. (I also think, but this was a while ago so I might be remembering wrong, that there was no way of cancelling that process)

Possible solutions:

a) Make the 'copy to own folder' preference default to off
b) Allow this to be chosen when doing the initial scan
c) Give a warning before the first scan
