I just downloaded a free book from Books on Board. It is the free eBook of the week. I grabbed the one called Jane Eyre, by Charlotte Bronte. Since this is a reputable dealer I was surprised to find it showed up as Unknown - Unknown on my ePUBReader window. I could not find a way to download it without it showing up in ePUBReader. I exported it and luckily in the latest version is keeps the name so it exported as 405_charlotte_bronte_Jane_eyre.epub so at least I could find it.

My suggestion is to do what ADE did when it found the book. It used the file name as the title. At least this way you can reference the book some way. The author was reported as unknown. ADE also displayed the cover but ePUBReader did not.

I guess sometimes you get what you pay for but the book at least seems ok.
