Books dont show up in the books application

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install an ebook from installer
2. Open books application
3. Ebook doesnt show up

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect to see the installed book in the application but i can't.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
I have tried 1.37 and 1.4 so far both give the same problem. When i open
1.4 tho it says something about migrating from 1.1.2 to 1.1.3 and change in
folder holding ebooks. It is true that i have recently upgraded from 1.1.2
to 1.1.4 but i did a full restore for that. 

Please provide any additional information below.
Books used to work perfectly fine on 1.1.2 but since ive upgraded to 1.1.4
i cant get the Books app to read the books. They just dont show up.

this is due to the package books in installer which are not compatible with 
firmwares
higher than 1.1.2 when we deliver to installer the new version we will have them
udpated.  In the meantime a fix is to copy the content of 
/var/root/Media/EBooks in
/var/mobile/Media/EBooks.  Then you can create a symlink from one to the other.

I was running 1.1.3 firmwave for a while now with no issues for the books app

i installed 1.4 vers of books this morn and suddenly it cant find any books at 
all!

i tried to downgrade but now 1.37 wont find them either
i tried what was suggested above - to move the ebooks to the other locations 
and 
still get nothing showing up
i have also tried unistalling the books app and reinstalling it to no avail

please advise
