You can run epubcheck from the command prompt and with a little batch file work, you can check all those books in one go. One rather long go—epubcheck is not a speedy program.
I have a directory called epubcheck on my desktop with the batch file and epubcheck.jar plus epubcheck's lib directory The for loop scans through the directory (in this case %USERPROFILE\calibre\Intake points to my calibre intake library) returning any .epub files. The batch file echos the path/filename for the epub and any messages from epubcheck to a file called epubcheck.txt. The echo is needed since otherwise all I would see for an error-free file would the 3 lines telling me no errors were found. The "s around the %%f keeps me from having issues with spaces in the filepath/name string.
I saved the below to a file called checkepub.cmd
Code:
for /R %USERPROFILE%\calibre\Intake %%f in (*.epub) do (
echo "%%f" 1>>%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\epubcheck\epubcheck.txt 2>&1
java -jar epubcheck.jar "%%f" 1>>%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\epubcheck\epubcheck.txt 2>&1
)
pause
A quick scan through epubcheck.txt looking for "Check finished with errors" locates the error files.
