@JSWolf: Yeah having multiple formats for the same logical book is precisely why I wrote the book catalouging part of libprs500 in the first place.
@nairbv: You need a directory for a book precisely because over time your books will not have only a single file, since you're likely to convert them into multiple formats to read them on various devices. If all you ever read is DRMed books then there is no point in maintaining an ebook catalog at all. And you're again making too much of a big deal of what is a relatively small issue when using a cataloging program. Sure the initial import is going to be painful to do. But it is just that, the initial import. Once it's done, your cataloging program will manage the book files and you will find accessing them through it's interface far more convenient than rooting around in your filesystem. Subsequent imports are likely to be of at most a handful of books at a time. You need to stop looking for the perfect solution, you'll never find it, and you'll just end up doing nothing. But hey, maybe you'll get lucky and find the "perfect mate" :-)
