Hi
Thanks everybody for the contribution.

I know that it sounds weird wanting to remove the embedded cover. While it's very useful to have the cover in Calibre, I find the cover on my ebook readers a useless waste of space and of battery. Anyway, this is just a matter of opinion.

Since I have more than 3000 books in Calibre (awz3 + epub, that makes 6000+ files), I'd like to process them automatically. There are so many wonderful options in "Edit book" (as Smart punctuation or Remove unused CCS)... I'd like also to perform these actions on all the books in my library.

Some of these options are checked in the convert dialogs and that's good, but of course they are not executed on the original file.

Furthermore, converting books to AZW3 with the option "remove the first image" generates an ebook that does not show the first image, but the image is still in the file. Moreover, the option "remove the first image" seems to be ignored while converting AZW3 books (without any embedded image) to EPUB format: the cover in metadata is forced in the ebook.

Can anybody help me? Am I doing something wrong?
