Problem: Mac adds the file ._title.epub for Mac-specific metadata about title.epub.

Potential fix: hide the "._" files (i.e. don't list them as ebooks).
Jinke can't 'fix' what has been a convention in Unix since forever. "dot" files are hidden files and 'ls -a' will show them. Silly mac oddities like this are always going to be a problem. The fix isn't to corrupt the ls command. Of course, the jinke 'bookshelf' should not be bound to the output of 'ls' anyway.
