bulk edit the whole library/multiple books

RandomHero13 · 10-28-2019, 07:19 AM

Hi,

is it possible to use search+replace on multiple books or even a whole (virtual) library at once?

and yes i am aware that it is quite risky

you can do it via conversion, but no other out of the box tool. And ocnversion will automatically save the original file when doing a same format to same format conversion.
