Yep, that'd do it. I've got no cd drives though. Well I do. I have a 'free floating' one that I plug in when I really must have one. How did you get 9.7 million karma if it comes in units of 10 ( I assume because that's where I'm at ).
Does it go exponential or you've just 970,000 promotes or there's different 'awards' for different things?
Later update :
Well that's wonderful. Job done. New library and maintenance checks database against files and finds no errors.
It imported nearly 5000 from those 'leftovers' in the old one. About 1500 were duplicates that we didn't import and I know that amongst those I did import there's many 'books' are not really books at all. Principally a manual of building codes of some 1000 pages, each one a pdf that Calibre naturally thinks is a document. So it calls that 1000 books.
That's the next project inline. To compile that down to one doc. One book.
Thanks everyone for showing me how to use Calibre to deal with this kind of thing.
