That helped in figuring out which file I had first, which is helpful in it's own right, thank you!

The problem I am still having is, for example I bought and downloaded Harry Potter from Pottermore. I have both the Epub and the Mobi file. The epub file came first, but I can't remember if I merely converted from epub to get the mobi or if I *also* downloaded the mobi format from pottermore too. Any advice?
