@acarus As you've discovered Calibre supports one file of each format.

Aaah, I see itimpi beat me to it, but...

One way of storing 'extra' files (eg in your example one extra epub and one extra lit) in the same book record is to put them in some sort of archive, and add that to the book.

I prefer to use 7z archives for this purpose because I use zip and rar archives in ways that calibre will process them as 'books' - if I see a zip or rar I regard it as an anomaly to be fixed. I then put a note in comments listing what's in the 7z archive - eg a different language, translation, edition etc.
