Hi there I'm not sure but I think you can rename the folders. I found this out by accident when I downloaded a book twice, and the Mac automatically renamed one of them a little bit, I think with a number on the end of the folder name. I have not had a problem downloading books by the same author, so I'm not sure what's going on with that. Regards Gigi
