Calibre convert books output help!!!

fatkinglet · 11-04-2020, 10:26 AM

HI, I have 55 epub books to be converted to mobi, I cannot find ways to customize the output folder.

I did tried "save to disk" when I left click on the highlight books, but it didn't work.

For example:
the default setting stores each new created mobi book into it's individual books folder.

I want to achieve my new 55 mobi into a designated folder when i do the bulk convert

If you do the conversion via the Calibre GUI then the converted books are always put into the same folder as the source book. To get such books out of Calibre you need to use the Save to Disk option after converting.

If you use the Calibre Command Line interface then you explicitly control where files are placed, but you have to know how to work at the command line level so this is nowhere near as convenient as using the Calibre GUI.
