Can you state exactly why you find giving an ebook a unique identifier to be stupid? That way my copy of the Kobo downloaded ebook has a different identifier from anyone else's copy of the same ebook making it easy to distinguish them. The display on the ereader shows the title, series, author, file size, etc. You can search on the title, series, author. So from that point of view there is no difference between epub and kepub.epub.

Hmmm... 128 bits (16 hex octets) is 3.4x10^38 -- oddly, the same as IPV6's address space.
