Is there anyway to do this? Opening each book to see if the actual book opens would take me at lease a month - time which I can't spend.
If you have a solution, please write it so the directions are easy to follow. I did see one posr about a simular problem, but the directions were confusing to me - plus it talked about menu items I never could find.
Thanks in advance,

First make a copy of your calibre library--use this to make your fixes.
Then go to:

You want to do the second option:

Your metadata.db file was deleted/corrupted. In this case, you can ask calibre to rebuild the metadata.db from its backups. Right click the calibre icon in the calibre toolbar and select Library maintenance->Restore database. calibre will automatically rebuild metadata.db.

If that fixes your library or not then let us know.
