I don't really want to go through all of them manually if I can help it,, there are a LOT of books,,, but obviously want to keep the "best copy" for my library
Any help would be appreciated,
Thanks,

No easy way
Eyeball Mk I is the only way I know.
Hopefully you have 2 monitors on your rig (or at least 2 computers), 1 for each Library.
This is one of the few time I will say it is OK to peek (carefully) beneath the skirts of calibre.
1) Run Calibre on the Destination Library (#1),
2) Use Explorer to view the second Library (#2).
Select a Author/Title that appears in Library #1,right click: Open with 'viewer for all e-book formats' (this is the Calibre viewer from the CLI)
3)'View' (v) the destination Library copy from inside calibre (keep track which viewer is which. they look the same)
4)Do the eyeball thing on both
5) (close BOTH viewers)
If you like #2 better , open the Metadata editor on #1 (the only place full calibre is running
) and drag the Book from #2 to the formats box.
(you might want to make a column eyball_tested and put 1, 2 or (the lib #) of the version that you are now using)
click OK
Repeat 2-5 until Lib 2 is done
Open Lib 3 Repeat 2-5
