If my memory is working correctly on a given day, I try to modify a file
with the author's name. I don't like to hear that, either, especially when
I have a thousand books, give or take a few, on the Bookport.
By the way, for the uninitiated, (which I was until a few days ago),
subfolders on the BP work very well!

I just thought of another reason that I prefer the current default. Many of the books I move to my BP have file names like:
Doyle, Sir Arthur Conan - The Hound of the Baskervilles.txt
Frankly, I do not want all that when I'm scanning quickly through the files on my BP and I don't want to have to be forced to modify the file name by removing the author's name before moving the file to the BP. If I have a folder on the BP named Sherlock Holmes, it's just plain stupid to be forced to hear the author's name for each and every file.

I determine what I want my file name to be before I start. I agree, though. There should probably be another way to create file names within Bookport Transfer.
