This is happening for a lot of my books. When I try to open them I get the error below.
Background: These were books that were in a friend Calibre, and he send me the just epub files for them (not the folders). I added them to my library using "add books".
I have since added more books to Calibre before I found that my frinds books wouldn't open.
I need to know how to remove books just the corrupted from Calibre with these errors. I added almost 1000 books and I really don't want to have to go test each one.
If you have a solution, please write it in plain language to make it easy to understand.
BTW, I do have the calibre "Quality Check" plug in, but I can't find anything that even remotely addresses this problem. I believe it is the most recent version since I just downloaded and installed it.
Thanks!
