Hi I have imported all my books in various formats, some books in mulitple formats ie lit, pdf, doc - I think it is best to now format them to one format ie mobi and then delete all the other formats? Does this make sense? since I have a kindle believe best to format all to mobi. Can I then go do a window directory search and delete the old formats or will I wreck the Calibre index /dbase.

example if I convert all .doc then do window search find all .doc and delete them out of all the book directories.
