I have searched for something similar but had no luck. The closest I got was one where a Calibre user had modified/deleted Calibre files via the OS instead of using the Calibre GUI. I always use mods via the Calibre GUI.
I am using Windows 7 and decided to transfer my Calibre library to a USB (64Gb)
and run the Calibre Portable version so that I could use this USB on multiple PCs/Laptops.
Prior to this I was running the 64-bit version on my PC. I copied (via the OS) the complete Calibre library and then run the Calibre Portable loaded on the USB.
Whether I had the problem before this, I do not know but now find a large number of books totally without any formats. I have a very large library and the books missing formats is around 14% of my library.
Does anyone have any thoughts on how this might have happened or a cure!

Thanks
