Remove Multiple Formats

drewgb810 · 11-14-2022, 12:15 AM

While i was trying to send my books to my Fire Tablet, i got an alert they were in the wrong format.

it offered to convert them. I did it but noticed i liked the other format better. i have an app that can read that format. I went to remove the AZW format. i can't figure out how to remove it in bulk. i don't want to have to through all 200+ books individually to remove it. When i click on edit in bulk, i don't see the option to remove/recycle.

All help will be appreciated!

Click the format you don't want in the Tag Browser, select all the books it finds (Ctrl+A), click Remove files of a specific format from selected books in the Remove books drop-down action list, select the format you don't want, and then click OK.
