Thanks!

Yeah, that's no problem. I figured it'd be not quire the same; the ones that I downloaded from URL list still looked the same as the old FFF ones and the ones from AO3 did not.
File replacement completely works for me, though I mostly need the metadata updated - the AO3 tagging is completely bonkers. Because I can regex the hell out of the tags with FFF and sort them into multiple columns (plus there is some automatic tidying of ships and whatnot), I can create a neat tagging system for my tablet.
Most e-readers will just say "Sort by tags" and I'll look at five million different tags (from AO3) and despair. At least mine does this and I'm too used to Moon+ to switch to a new one.
But with FFF, when a story is complete and I got the metadata through AO3 sorted into several columns, I use Calibre's bulk metadata search and replace to send the tags into a backup column, then add the Category (fandom) and the ships into the tags.
Thanks again for the help.
