I made a batch file and ran it. it just converted the first book. Batch files stop execution after the first line when running ebook-convertexe. I found that this is a known bug. Some helpful people posted that adding Start and /Wait may work but they did not.

I am using XP but I found a post that said batch files work in windows 7. So I installed calibre to my windows 7 computer and the batch files did not work there either.

I am not a programmer, I have no desire to learn a scripting language to solve this problem.

The main reason I started with the command line is because calibre screws up my filenames and then dumps them in their own directories. I find that the documentation for calibre is not easy to understand.

Perhaps if someone could tell me how to add books that start with author-title.extension and not get screwed up when added into the database I could work with that.

Thank you for your help

Brad
