I apologize in advance if this has already been discussed but I couldn't find anything either in these forums or in the list of Calibre tickets. I understand that the iRex iLiad is not supported natively by Calibre. However, the user manual states that with the 'Save to Disk' option, Calibre can be used to send files to devices that show up as USB mass storage devices. I have a couple of questions:

(1) If I just say 'Save to Disk' and select the directory on which iLiad is mounted, then I guess it would create the Author -> Title -> Bookfile hierarchy in that directory as well? So, may be I should do 'Save to Disk in Single Directory'? Also, I would like to know why there are parenthesized roman numerals attached to each file name that Calibre imports, e.g., '(28)'. I ask because I don't want these numbers to show up when I send the file to my iLiad. I don't see any option to strip off such numbers in the preferences.

(2) Is native support for the iLiad planned for Calibre?

Thanks in advance! I love Calibre (especially the 'fetch metadata' and 'fetch cover image' features) and really want to use it for managing my iLiad!
