Had a hard drive start developing bad clusters, which didn't give me a lot of warning. As a result, my backup (and original library) contain some bad/unreadable epubs. I think I caught most of them, but more may be lurking.

The "Check Library" Calibre function doesn't indicate any issues, as I'm sure this issue is not within its purvue.

Is there any way to bulk validate that all the books in my library are readable/able to be opened? Downloaded Pagina epub Checker, but it only works on individual files. It's a large library, so checking them one at a time would be a nightmare I'd like to avoid.

TIA.
