Thanks... Your instructions made it easy to figure out... When I checked the subsequent delete list that pops up after selecting the books with the unwanted format, it turns out that many of the epubs were not actually installed on the tablet, but rather they are listed as available. Then all I had to do was uncheck those that I wanted to keep and delete the others. After that I sorted on the PC Calibre by device and transferred the missing books. The correct format was transferred because I modified the preferred format order.

What confused me was when clicking a book in CC the Book Details page opens and at the bottom is "format" and "formats". Once I realized that Format is the book format that is on the device, and Formats are the various formats that are on the PC, I changed the order of preferred formats putting those most preferred at the top so the undesired format will not typically transfer to CC unless it is the only one available. Hope this makes sense.

Thanks again.
