Now all my book files are spread out all over my computer and hard drives, but are all nicely converted and resident in my Calibre Library in perfect order.

Some are in many formats, but all are Epub.

My question is, how do I get my book(s) in Epub only, and how do I transfer them to Sigil to start working on them.

I cannot find a way to do this as 'importing' from computer files does not appear to allow me to choose the files from within Calibre.

Any advice would be greatfully received. I am not a techi just a lady pensioner so simple speak would be an advantage
Since you use Calibre
Install the plugin found in this message (frequentl revised in same message)

Once the Installation instructions have bee completed exactly
select the book.
Press Alt-E
Presto. book (EPUB) opens in Sigil

Obviously: have a backup of your book in a safe place.

BTW
Selecting a Book i Calibre and hitting the "O" key(sometimes it takes a second hit), opens the folder.
