This is NOT a unique identifier and while it maybe be ok for files that you convert for yourself, it is pretty catastrophic to distribute files with such an identifier. You might have a lot of books uploaded here on Mobileread all sharing the same identifier because of this problem.
My advice would be to assign a UUID or another unique identifier to every book available in the ePub section to fix this problem.
Yea, I had forgotten about the unique id problem. Calibre needs to fix that. I was talking about the format but the id is something to be aware of and it needs to be unique. Of course you can manually edit the file but that is a pain.
