Basically, right now, decryption is fake. Books are stored as plaintext files with the password used as part of the filename, and then the books' text is scrambled.
This basically means that the encryption process itself is unnecessary as the only thing it does is scramble the contents of the book, and could just as well be replaced with filling the book with randomness.

If possible, the book should be properly encrypted and decrypted, with the password stored in a file if adminDecrypt is enabled. Perhaps use a proper encryption algorithm, but that might break compatibility with existing books.
