As the title suggest this is probably a long shot, but I thought I'd ask just in case.

I use Calibre to organize my comic book collection and read them on my iPad. I use an app called eBook Search which hooks into Calibre's catalogue (as long as my PC is on of course) and I can download comics/books etc from there to my iPad (yay no wires!).

Now, the problem is, and it's a really small (but annoying) problem is that when I download a book and it opens (imports it) into my comic book reader app (Comic Zeal) from the ebook search app, the titles for some reason get changed to a long string of numbers. (*This does not happen with normal books that get opened in Kindle/ibooks app.)

Calibre and the eBook Search app displays the titles of the books fine, just not Comic Zeal.

I was wondering if anyone would know why it would do this and also if there was a way to fix it? Or if anyone could recommend another comic book reader app (as good as Comic Zeal) that wouldn't do this.

Thanks in advance!
