Wow, that sounds like a great idea, itimpi. I really appreciate your help - thanks!

All of this is really a workaround to deficiencies in the iRiver Story's current OS - ePUB is the only file format it adequately supports at the moment - it will open the others, but bluntly it is faulty in the way it displays and handles them - so I'm having to go through all this just so i can read documents and the like I'm sent to read. You can probably understand I didn't want to get into someone else's file management system as well, no matter how powerful and well-designed it is!

Anyway. I'm not sure why I'm getting what appear to me as inconsistencies in the file naming with Calibre - as I said, I'm new to it, so I may well have done something with consequences I didn't anticipate in setting up the preferences. But if the command-line utility lets me side-step all that, that sounds ideal.

Thanks again for your help, itimpi and speakingtohe.
And now Starson17 - thanks !
