It works great so far, but now I encountered a small problem, and I hope there is a solution for it. I downloaded a book, which exists of three volumes (all epub). In the description on the download site (internet archive) the three volumes are mentioned by 1, 2 and 3. But when trying to get the books into Calibre and then export to my ereader (Kobo Aura H20), a message pops up saying that the books are already there (well, one of them at least). Somehow the files have the same name. And it did not help to change the filename.
I managed to get all the files into Calibre, but not to my ereader. I do hope this explanation about my problem is a bit understandable and I appreciate if someone can come up with a solution.
When do you see the duplicate message? If you use the KoboTouch driver to send a book to the device, it doesn't care if the book is already on the device, it will simply replace the file. If the duplicate error is when you are adding the book, then you need to add them one at a time and fix the title of the book before adding the next.

If sending one book replaces a book already on the device, then, as Kovid said, you need to adjust the save template. Kovid pointed to the default in the preferences, but if you have changed the driver configuration, you will need to change the save template in the driver configuration.
