Hello,
I'd like to know which of the 628 AZW books and 1774 AZW3 books I've got that need to be re-imported due to DRM. About half of the files were imported before I had all the plugins so the DRM was never addressed. I just left them as is since then. Is there a way to find just the AZW and AZW3 files that have DRM from the Search bar (preferred) or somewhere else?

What I've tried from reading other threads:
1) One post suggested using the Quality Check plugin, but it doesn't handle the AZW and AZW3 file types, just Mobi and Epub.
2) Another poster's suggestion was to try converting them to .epub.
But a bulk convert turns out to be impractical because Calibre throws up a "Cannot convert Such and Such" notice for every individual book. So that's not really a bulk solution and the notices basically takes over Calibre.

I just want to see the list of books with DRM. Any help and ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
