Remove all mobi versions of a book where there is a corresponding epub?
I'm trying to tidy up my Calibre library and am moving to a new Kobo device.

I have many books with a range of formats —*ideally I'd like to remove many of the redundant formats where there is an existing epub for that book?

Is this something I can achieve in Calibre?

I would go over to the left hand column and click the Formats dropdown in the Tab browser, and then select EOUB which will select all the books with an EPUB format. Select all the books in the library display, right click, hover on Remove books, select Remove books of a specific format from selected books. Click on all the formats shown other than epub and click OK. An alternate is to use the Remove all formats from selected books, except.... Select EPUB to keep and click OK.
