  • Put a Windows shortcut to calibre.exe into your Send To folder

  • Select book files
  • Right-click->Send to->calibre.exe
The advantages are a) leaves the files where they are, b) doesn't require extra copying steps. Also a file manager that can present a flattened directory view of selected file types is handy - xplorer˛ Lite (free) is one such.

A brilliant KISS solution
