The search
Code:
formats:#>1
will give you a list of books with more than one format.

Given a list of books, you can remove a specific format by selecting all the books then do one of
- opening Edit Metadata (Multiple) and choosing the option to "Remove format", a drop down box around 2/3rds the way down the basic metadata page.
- clicking on the down arrow on the remove books toolbar icon and choosing "Remove files of a specific format from selected books"

As always, be sure to make a backup before doing the removals in case a slight slip deletes something you don't want deleted.
