Thanks
the no-format books were created accidentally mainly by programs to eliminate duplicates from a massive 1,4 million book directory structure made up of random files and a lot of zip files.

for example if you have 2 copies of book x, both in mobi, then one mobi (A) will be eliminated by Duplicate Cleaner Pro but the other mobis (B) folder still has the cover and the opf left in it.

Calibre will end up adding the B folder as a book with no-format. which when you start with 1.4 million books this can generate A LOT of no-format books.

Now i have the problem of books with multiple formats. I want to end up all mobi format only. any ideas ??
