Public or Private?
 Books
are either public or private. When you create a book, you can decide to
mark it Private by choosing Details... from the menu. If
you don't, it's public. This determines how the book is distributed.
Public Books
Whenever you BeamSync with another person, BeamBooks remembers a list of
public books the person had. This way, you can discover books you might
want to get from them. If you indicate you want a book, you'll get it the
next time you BeamSync with someone who has it.
Private Books
If a book is private, other people won't find out about it when you BeamSync
with them. A private book never appears in anyone else's list of books
they can get, so no one can get a copy of the book unless you explicitly
beam it to them. By marking a book private, you can easily keep it private
to yourself or a trusted group of people. Only the creator of a book can
change whether its public or private, so you don't have to worry about
your private book appearing over the place. You do have to trust that everyone
you give the book to will keep it private to your group. Private books
are appropriate for things you want to keep secret to yourself and for
propriatary company data.
