Hell, the geek in me says to go into the Terminal app and cd into the Download 
folder and do whatever with the book files by saying *.epub. Like you could 
copy all apubs some place by saying
cp *.epub books
where books is the folder you want to copy them to. If you want to "move" them 
instead of copying, just replace cp with mv.

Sorry if this is too geeky or cumbersome but I love the Unix command line:).
