Doesn't Calibre have any setting to show you what FORMAT a book is in?

Due to the fact that I also have lists for Android which has Adobe Reader and FB reader, I can save HTML, PDF, DOC, TXT and RTF. I also have some old Palm formats, too.

I have a mess of duplicate books that will show the format in windows, but I will be damned if I can figure out how to mark them in Calibre and the tablet.
I can then either delete the pdf if I have converted to epub or convert it.

I'd rather use Calibre since it does show more info than having to open programs in Windows.

I have an 8G card. I want all my books over there and none in the Kobo's memory. I put them on the card using Calibre, and they wind up in main anyway.

If someone can explain why the books aren't going to the selected save, and where the info is to add a column that shows book formats such as epub, I'd appreciate it.

I tried changing the Glo to only do PDF and about 6 books which I knew were unconverted epub turned up in the search.

Tried in reverse - only show epub, and there were PDF files in there. One is an astronomy observing guide that I bought from O'Reilly and that is way too anything to be switched to an epub! So I know Calibre was in error.

Thanks
