Hello,

I'm looking for a way to bulk-copy identifier values of selected books. I've added books with an identifier named asin.

In particular, I'd like to copy ASINs of books without a zip format with a certain keyword in the title and with a size over 20 MB. From the UI, I could successfully select books that match the following search criteria by sorting them by size.

Code:

keyword and not formats:"=zip"

However, there doesn't seem a way to bulk-copy their ASINs from the UI.

Then, I tried the calibredb list command. Not sure if formats:"!=zip" is in effect as the result seems the same with formats:"=zip".

Code:

calibredb list --search title:"keyword" identifiers:asin:true --fields identifiers,title formats:"!=zip"

Also, with the command, it is possible to specify a size?
