Is there a way to automatically find and replace all instances of ">" with "." in my tags column, or am I going to have to go through each entry and manually change them all?

1) On your library, select all your books (CTRL+A)
2) Click on the Edit Metadata button
3) Search and Replace tab
4) Search field: tags
5) Search for: >
6) Replace with: .

Done.
