My problem was never that, I have a folder in which all my ebooks are in and I need to clean so instead of checking the ebooks one by one I'll do the cleaning with calibre.

I moved all my ebooks from the subfolders into my main one, and that really is a problem since the ones I keep I have under author folders and I don't see why I can't add a main folder and calibre add books from all the subfolders I have, especially since there's an option of sub-directories even if the rest makes no sense.

My problem is that I have for e.g. 2 ebooks named ThePurgatory.epub and ThePurgatory.mobi, those are 2 different books, not by the same authors, will calibre be able to tell them apart? Or will it only add one thinking the other one is a duplicate of the first?

And my other problem is if for e.g. I have:
royal_street_heist_s.cade.pdf
royal_street_heist_s.cade.epub
royal_street_heist_s.cade.mobi

is there a way to have calibre add the mobi and ask me about the other 2 duplicates if I want them added so that I can choose no?

Also when it comes to adding 200-300 books you can't go looking one by one what duplicates you want added and which you don't.
