No doubt you are correct about the contents of the epub file.
The problem is when you have a couple of thousand epub books and apple names them something else then when you back up you have to manually rename them. To do this you have to explore inside the epub file to get a clue to its correct name.
One of the purposes in naming a epub file with the actual name of the book (e.g Winnie the Pooh instead of QRTY.epub) is that users want to know the name of the book.
That is why we name books.
As the name of the book is somewhere in the epub file, why is it that apple cannot use that as its folder name to make it easy and accessible.
After using a number of other readers I now read all my books on the iPad.
It is a great device but the OS is extremely unfriendly, unnecessarily obscure and difficult. In a word, it stinks.
