Can't find new compare ebook feature

bfollowell · 03-11-2014, 08:59 PM

I've noticed that an update or two ago, Calibre has introduced a feature that allows us to compare to copies of an ebook to locate differences. Try as I might, I haven't been able to locate this feature anywhere within the program. Maybe I'm blind as a bat or maybe I'm just running on too little sleep but I'm not seeing it and I'd really like to check this feature out. Can someone more with it than I obviously am point me to this new feature?

Thanks.

@bfollowell - It's in the Book Editor - start the editor on Book A (press 't'). In the editor look in File menu and you'll see Compare to another book - that will take you into the dialogue for opening a file on your OS - navigate to Book B (epub/azw3 file) and select.

Not sure if you can sensibly compare an AZW3 with an EPUB
