Delete image from multiple epubs at once
Hi, is it possible to remove an image (and the page referring to that image) from multiple books at once? The filename for the image is the same through all books so instead of editing them all by hand, I'm looking for a way to do it in one run.

Thanks!

That is a pretty specialized need...

If you know much about shell scripting, you should be able to write a custom shell script to unzip the EPUB, delete a certain file, and use e.g. `sed` to delete references to the file.
