And, it's not as simple as opening each one to see, for I have over 12,000 books in the library. I've moved all the *.AZW books to a different directory, and I'd like to move those not DRM'd back to the Calibre directory.

A plugin? Another software producer? Anyone know?
There is probably a better way, but you put your AZW files in a seperate library and run a bulk convert on say 1000 at a time.

Then copy the error log to clipboard and paste it into notepad.
This would give you a list of all DRMMed books
