I have a single folder that contains a few hundred ebooks. None of the files are binary duplicates (just ran a tool that deleted all binary dupes). There are however, come books that have the same file name (but different extension, epub and mobi for example). I also have some like this:

Book Title - Author.epub
Book Title - Author (1).epub

In that case, those two files are different sizes.

When I start w/ an empty library, and import the folder, and then run the duplicate file finder, I now see dozens and dozens of binary duplicate books within the library file structure as well as in calibre. I am perplexed as to why this would be.
