The selection would be on a format search, with a right-click on all hits, and delete after copy.

The Selection process gets tricky.
Basic Q Do you want to move ANY book (all formats) that HAS a PDF?
|
By preference, I get ePub, and other things if ePub isn't available. The vast majority of the PDFs exist
only as PDFs.
If by some chance there are multiple formats including PDF, I think I want to move the PDF but leave the others.

I used a custom column to track Master (source) formats as a tool against future conversions, where I want to use the Original as the source.

I haven't done that yet, but may start doing so down the road. It's a good idea.

If you have only PDF, piece of cake (chocolate  ) ; Use the Tag Browser to select PDF in the custom col or
search: formats:PDF and Not formats:EPUB
The goal is to get only the books that exist solely as a PDF

It's a little more complicated than that. Essentially, one library would be ePub/Mobi, and the other would be "Everything else". Most of the everything else will be PDF, but other things like DjVu are creeping into the mix.
So the first cut will likely be moving all ePub/Mobi to a different library, and what's left is the other library. The ePpub/Mobi library is the one that will sync with the tablet.

I believe Betteread has large libraries

I'm open to commentary from all.
I still have the issue of a top level listing of what is in both libraries, just to see whether I have the title at all.
(Hmmm. Calibre holds the data in a SQLite database. There are likely tools for exporting from SQLite to CSV...)
