Bug description:
  User Interface Freeze Exception Justification
  =============================================
  To avoid getting bug reports and negative feedback from an app that does almost nothing, I propose we hide GNOME Books for Ubuntu (GNOME) 16.04 LTS.
  gnome-documents (and therefore gnome-books) is included by default in Ubuntu GNOME but not other official Ubuntu flavors.

  This change was made in Debian and Ubuntu yakkety-proposed 3.20.0-3
  (not built on yakkety because it's depwaiting on GTK 3.20 but that
  will be cleared up one way or the other later in the yakkety release
  cycle).

  $ seeded-in-ubuntu -b gnome-documents
  gnome-documents is seeded in:
    ubuntu-gnome: daily-live

  Original Bug Description
  ========================
  I think the "Books" app included in GNOME is so incomplete that it
  would be better to set NoDisplay=True for it.

  What happens when you launch GNOME Books
  ===

  Books opens, showing you the .cbr, .cbz, .djvu, .mobi, .epub files it
  finds in your tracker-searched folders.

  The only file type it lets you actually view though is .cbr and .cbz
  (which are usually used for comic books). For everything else, it
  displays an uphelpful error message:

  https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-
  documents/commit/?id=9c5cf3e98c15c17736bacda1aa2eea9458cbf4ce

  Since the evince "Document Viewer" can also display .cbr  and .cbz
  files just fine, GNOME Books is redundant.

  Worse, "Books" implies that it will let you read commonly used ebook
  formats such as .epub or .mobi but it cannot.

  GNOME Books development is slow. The initial Books feature is a year
  and a half old and the "coming soon" message is a year old.

  https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-documents/log/?qt=grep&q=books

  Once Books gets epub support, we should probably show the Books app
  again. You can follow the progress of that effort at
