I importet the ebooks from gutenberg. The most of them has an identical cover image (thousands). I wanted to find these one automtically and start to find better covers or at least delete this covers. I do not like to do it manually.

So i think i will do it like this: find all binary duplicates with some external tool. Delete all the duplicate covers. After this, i can find all books which has "no cover" with calibre and do whatever i like.

If the images are not binary duplicate, i will try to install Dup Detector with wine at Linux.

Thnx a lot!!
KISS
Leave the details pane open.

Use Grid View and eyeball Mk I,

Get the Search the internet PI. Right click (assumes the PI was set to use the Context Menu) on the 'bad image'
I use the Search Google for Images
When I find a 'good one', I just drag it over the old one on details

Having a 2nd Monitor makes this a LOT easier
