Sure, absolutely any change to the contents changes the hash. It's way easier with books than with images (though even then, just changing the compression settings changes the hash). btw, hashes are, by definition, not unique. Two very different books could (if quite unlikely) have the same hash.

Heck, even collectors. I have 1300 books and they're still under 1.5GB.
