Yep, I managed to figure out that this was my problem when I looked closer at the metadata info in CC - the names were shortened to one letter making them the same filename.

Unfortunately I haven't been able to fix it yet. I updated the names in Calibre, but CC keeps calling them "S" (.mobi and .azw3) so it kicks out the "duplicate". I've tried reloading the books in Calibre, updating the name, reloading in CC, and they keep getting saved as "S" (.mobi and .azw3).

I thought about changing the settings to use the book ID as a filename instead, but I started with this setting and my searches in the Fire didn't work properly for some reason. I may have to switch back to that though. Hopefully this helps someone else who runs into this problem as well, I couldn't find anything about it when I searched.
