How to know which format is the original?
I have some books I converted long ago, that have both epub and mobi. How do I know which format was the original before I converted it?

@Lily7 - I don't think there's a definitive way of knowing
Look at the file dates with your file manager (press 'O' on a book line to oppen book folder), likely as not the one with oldest Date Modified will be the original. And if its older than the book's Date column (you may need to press 'I' to see it) then it's almost certainly the original. The books Date column is the date the book was added to calibre - unless you change it... BR |
