Hey nice to meet you so far from home LoL I figured the dev or someone else probably already tried Calibre but it wouldn't hurt to find out for myself. I only started using MB Bookshelf a few days ago and my wife, daughter and myself all love it. We've only tried it on our Android devices so I don't know how well it works on other platforms but I suspect it'll work well on any device.

As for the renaming, I can batch rename all the images using win7 but haven't figured out how to get them back into the correct folders. I have a separate library set up for tinkering and was hoping Calibre would either download or pull the images, rename and put them in the correct folders. Honestly, it sounds like such a simple thing to do that i'm surprised someone hasn't already created a program that can do this, but then again, I don't write code so how would I know... I really want to try BetterRed's suggestion, hopefully I'll have some time later tonight.
