What's more, I don't know how to select just the books I've added for conversion to EPUB after I add them. There doesn't seem to be a "sort by date added" option in the library. It would be nice if I could somehow create a new library to use just for the conversion, then merge it afterward, but I don't see anything in the settings dialogue to suggest that's even possible.

Can anyone help out?
Been there, done that (PRC, MOBI), extracted from all the Baen CD's and added to Calibre.

Simply click the Date column header twice (Now descending) of add date.

I suggest small chunks of 10-25 books
