Hi there,
I started two days ago to manage all my epubs I collected over the years and because I have a device since one month (a tolino). I have 609 files in a folder and tried to import them to a new calibre library. But 218 books were not properly imported. I find them now in a folder "Unbekannt" (unknown) and if I click on the book to open it in calibre, it says the book has no format (if I translate it right from german, sorry). But these are "normal" epubs, I can open them on my device or in MacOS Books. What can I do now?
Sorry, I am a little bit lost here. Thank you!
