This may seem pretty elementary to some of you, but it took me a while to devise a command line to extract the epubs only (no subfolder, no cover illo, no extra opf file) from a calibre library folder.

First get a command line (this is in an Accessories folder on my start bar). Then navigate to the library folder so that its path shows on the command line. Then, assuming (for instance) that you want to deposit the titles in c:\temp\nookbooks, this would be the command:

for /r %d in (*.epub) do copy "%d" c:\temp\nookepub

This can of course be used for other formats, substituting (*.pdf) or (*.mobi) or (*.az3) or whatever for (*.epub).
