This doesn't solve half the problem, having different names on different devices for the same book. As far as I can tell, in general syncing reading positions requires the file names to be identical on each device; this is certainly true for moon+. Each device can get the file from a different path, so name generation for new books on all paths must result in the same value.
FWIW: we actually built what you are suggesting, then took it out because it invisibly changed fundamental calibre/device/template behavior. It would be easy to put it back, this time as an option, but as I said it doesn't solve the multiple-device problem.
