I've now got a couple of thousand ebooks on my computer, many of which are the same content, but in multiple different formats (lrf, pdf, lit, epub etc.). Also, many of these files either don't have the correct name, or have variations of the name because the sources of the files edited the titles before posting them. I've tried every search combination I can think of, in both basic and advanced search, and I've tried several duplicate file finder programs. I've also looked in any FAQ I think might have the answer, but still can't find it. Does anyone know of a way or a piece of software to locate files with the similar content but in different file formats, PLEASE???

Surely I'm not the first person to realize this is a problem, there must be some way to search documents and have the search look for text that matches 80% or 90% or 95% of the original document.

I know I can do this handraulically, but that's going to be a real pain! Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Dan
I have thousands of pbooks. I've read all of them. Ebooks are less likely to cause structural damage to my floors.
