Easiest way to replace books in my collection with ones from here?

JGB · 11-30-2008, 03:50 PM

I've got a decent collection of PG etc books, but I'd much prefer to have the versions from here(of course

) Since they rock a lot more

Can anyone think of any easy way for me to do a download and replace for books I already have in folders?
I would prefer not to download multiple formats of each book, but since not all books are in all formats here, I need to use the format: ALL to make sure I get each one added in.

Thanks

Jeremy

Hi JGB

As far as the formats go, you are doing pretty well with the LRF format. Most of our books are available in native Sony. There are sometimes one or the other book that gets posted only in Mobi, but those are pretty seldom.

Alas, I'm a stubborn idiot

I'm converting everything I have to epub. No LRF allowed.
I won't support proprietary formats.
they bother me

So I'd rather download everything possible in mobi since caliber doesn't do Lrf-> Epub.
but I'm not sure which ones I'd be missing and then forced to add in .lrf.
