I have a series of books in both mobi & epub that I wish to add to calibre library.
The default "add books" option will create separate entries for each format of each book, it does not recognise that they should be paired.

I can't see an option that will handle this ?

NB the series folder contains 2 subfolders - one for all the epub versions & one for all the mobi versions.

the only method I can come up with is to manually reorganise the books into pairs then use the add one book per directory option - but for a long series that would take a long time.

I suppose the other way is to add one format only to library than have calibre generate the other format - but that does not feel right.
