Hey everyone!

I've been using and E-reader since a gifted Kindle back when it still had a keyboard. In the beginning I *only* bought and loaded books via Amazon and WiFi. As my children grew up and started reading E-Books on their devices and my wife got a Kindle as well, we found our E-book library growing.

I moved to Calibre and pulled all my purchases out of the Amazon cloud and into Calibre.

Later, I moved to a Kobo Aura H2O and absolutely love it over my Kindle. I still use this. My kids all have tablets and my wife moved over to iBooks and Kindle.app on ios after receiving an iPad.

That said... I now have a large collection of books and it is, in my opinion, a mess. I have a mix of purchased books, free books, and books that friends and family have shared with me. Regardless of origin, my collection is now what I feel to be too large. I have mixed fiction and non-fiction and many genres.

Calibre is reporting over 15K of books, which is likely due in part to my pulling in a large collection older theology texts.

I want to:
-- consolidate to ePub format only -- get rid of the rest (personal preference, open for arguments against converting certain formats...)
-- clean, fix, fill metadata for everything I can as some books are missing this
-- move non-fiction and fiction to separate libraries -- my family typically only uses the fiction section and I want them to access this themselves w/o having to rely on my laptop and Calibre installation
-- clean up duplicates -- I am finding dupes especially in my theology collection

So... Anyone have a suggested plan to accomplish this?
