### Download PDF attachments

For books which include PDF downloads, Libation can download these for you as well and will attempt to store them with the book. "Book backup" will already download an available PDF. This additional option is useful when Audible adds a PDF to your book after you've already backed it up.

### Files and folders

To make upgrades and reinstalls easier, Libation separates all of its responsibilities to a few different folders. If you don't want to mess with this stuff: ignore it. Read on if you like a little more control over your files.

* In Libation's initial folder are the files that make up the program. Since nothing else is here, just copy new files here to upgrade the program. Delete this folder to delete Libation.

* In a separate folder, Libation keeps track of all of the files it creates like settings and downloaded images. After an upgrade, Libation might think that's its being run for the first time. Just click ADVANCED SETUP and point to this folder. Libation will reload your library and settings.

* The last important folder is the "books location." This is where Libation looks for your downloaded and decrypted books. This is how it knows which books still need to be downloaded. The Audible id must be somewhere in the book's file or folder name for Libation to detect your downloaded book.
