- formats: epub/PDF

Apparently only the format "epub" got synced. Such a book opens always as epub. But what about the the other PDF format? How can sync them both and decide on CC which of the 2 formats are to be opened?
There are really two questions here.

1) Can a single book in CC have more than one format? The answer is no, because book identification with calibre is controlled by the book path including the extension. If you send multiple formats of the same calibre book to CC then in CC they will appear as separate books with the same title/author etc.

2) Which format is sent by default? Like all calibre "devices", by default CC will transfer the highest priority format, where priority is defined by CC's formats & folders setting. You must manually send other formats using calibre's "Send specific format to ..." command.

Once multiple formats of the same book are on CC, metadata for all the books will be updated if the metadata is changed in calibre.
