My situation:
* Calibre installed on two of the machines on my network (desktop and laptop)
* iPod Touch with Stanza for my e-reading

The installation of Calibre on my laptop is more recent than my installation on my desktop. Some of the recent books I've added on my desktop, when I go to download then via sharing in Stanza, it indicates I've already downloaded them. I go to read the book... and it pulls up a completely different book that I downloaded weeks ago off of my desktop instance of Calibre!

What algorithm does Calibre/Stanza use to uniquely identify an ebook to know whether or not it's already been downloaded onto the iPod Touch?

I tried to peek at the RSS feed that Calibre generates, but the books that are getting confused have two different ids, so that doesn't seem to be the issue...

Thanks for any help! I'm loving Calibre -- what a fantastic tool!
