I simply cannot figure out how to sort the books so that all books with format != MOBI are displayed. I dont want to dupe stuff that I have already converted, or make the ORIGIONAL_MOBI stuff.

Any suggestions on what I am missing?

formats:"!=MOBI" does not suppress the matching books in the listing when I do a search..
Use the Tag browser with the tag browser set to Match All (at the bottom)
Click (Formats) Original_mobi until a Red Minus appears.

now hold down the control key and click Mobi
