For whatever reason, my personal library became corrupted. I renamed the old library and then I went through the process of creating a new library and then adding the files. 2-3 hours later, it said there were duplicates. This was puzzling to me because there weren't any before. So, I let it run and it duplicated most books. As far as I can tell, if there are two formats for a book (mobi & epub), it sees the second format as a duplicate and created another file. I have 2 formats for 75% of my library because we use both kindle and epub readers. Any ideas? I did upgrade Calibre before I created the replacement library. Did a setting change?
