Great program Kovid!

I was wondering, I have a jetBook that supports a hierarchical file structure in the form of AuthorLast, AuthorFirst>Title>FileName.Format

Exactly like Calibre saves files to disk. This format provides the best menu experience, and the only improvement I can think of would be to have a top level folder for genre, but since I tend to confine my reading to one or two genre it doesn’t matter to me.

The question I have is when I save to the removable drive that my jetBook presents to my Vista OS, it saves all of the formats that I have in the library, in my case ePub and PRC. Then I have to open each author folder and delete the unwanted file format. Also since the jetBook only supports USB 1.1, the time necessary to save several hundred books becomes significant, and if I have to save multiple copies it becomes even more unacceptable. Is there a way to specify to only save one format?

Thanks in advance!
