I like that feature as well, but what I don't like is when my Mac gives two books by the same author a nearly identical folder name (usually the author's first name) and not the actual book name. This means I have to be real careful to never download more than one book by the same author. On Sep 6, 2012, at 9:10 AM, Eugenia Firth <gigifi...@me.com> wrote:
