The books are stored internally in a database, and the program doesn't keep track of the original file names. Instead it stores meta information about the files. Hence the need for automatically generated file names. Also since the program aims to be cross platform and each platform (read windows) has its file name related idiosyncracies, i thought it safer not to mess with file names that convey metadata at all.
