Find books that don't have an Epub version?
Hello,

I'm trying to get all of the books I can (I have some PDFs that won't convert) into epub. I tried searching "format:=EPUB:false" but that didn't return any results and I know I have some books the don't have an epub version (the aforementioned PDFs at a minimum). I read the search help file, but nothing jumped out at me other than what I tried. Does anyone know the secret?

Thanks!

This will find PDFs without EPUBS
formats:"=PDF" AND NOT formats:"=EPUB"

Or a more generic missing associated epub
formats:#>0 AND NOT formats:"=EPUB"

I use this instead of formats:true, because I can increase the count (pdf and mobi, etc)

how about

not formats:epub

or

formats:pdf formats:#=1

I love the implicit 'and' in Calibre, as well as the case insensitivity on the boolean operators, functional parentheses, "contains" queries and grouped searches.

As I have f as a grouped search, I may run just

f:pd f:#=1

to find all titles with a single format = pdf
