I've been looking over the forum regarding UUID and have been trying to understand what benefits using UUID with CC provides.

I understand that in using the UUID it make certain that the filename for books on different devices would be identical and this would assist with position syncing on detween devices on apps that allow it (ex: moonreader).

In another thread I believe I understand that it may also assist on devices (particularly mentioned Samsung) where Indexing may be affected.

Apart from this, can anyone advise of any additional benefit that might be seen to using the UUID as opposed to file names such as "Author, Title, (ID)"?
