What's more, I don't know how to select just the books I've added for conversion to EPUB after I add them. There doesn't seem to be a "sort by date added" option in the library. It would be nice if I could somehow create a new library to use just for the conversion, then merge it afterward, but I don't see anything in the settings dialogue to suggest that's even possible.
Can anyone help out? |
I did something similar last fall, only I worked from MSReader (larger images). I can tell you how to do it in Windows.
If you have the actual CDs, navigate to the base folder of the CD.
Open a search window, and search in that folder and its subfolders for *.mobi.
Once all the files have been found, drag and drop into the calibre GUI.
Sort by date, and then select a bunch at a time.
BTW, I converted 3 or 4 hundred at a time. Calibre handled it quite well.
