Okay, so basically, how do I prevent callibre from renaming files that I've added? Since I plan to open them with mobipocket (Amazon Kindle 4 PC does not display covers, but reconverting and opening the files with mobi does, every time.) Because it's super annoying having to manually rename files that I've already renamed.

Normally, it wouldn't be a problem. But it's a HUGE problem for Series books, since you can't 'Sort by Series' with mobipocket, nor will Callibre locate the series every time.

For example, I'm trying to add:

Garth Nix [Abhorson Book 01] Sabriel
Garth Nix [Abhorson Book 02] Lirael
Garth Nix [Abhorson Book 03] Abhorson

But when I add it to Callibre, it's listed as:

Sabriel
Lirael
Abhorson

Normally, this wouldn't be a problem, but for books like this, I have to re-check the folder to see what order the books go in, because the proper Series is rarely found.

How would I prevent Callibre from doing this? Or how would I be sure that it finds the series EVERY time?
