What you mean by "In browse activity under books we see other books but
not ours" can only work in XO distribution (if it doesn't it could be sugar fail,
but it works fine in my OS802 VM case). Any way, the major InfoSlicer workflow
is opening by click in Journal (it will work in all sugar envs).

Not sure it doesn't work in your case, try to create new profile/remove
existed and run InfoSlicer with empty Journal.
