calibredb command to remove all except epub
I'm cleaning up my library, keeping only books in epub format.
If my library is in c:\calibre-ebooks what command line can I use to remove all versions except epub. I've tried variations of calibredb remove-format mobi --prefix=c:\calibre-ebooks but that doesn't work. Is it possible to use calibredb at the command line to do this? |

Hopefully someone can help you. I don't have that knowledge. But I have done what you want to do and it takes only a couple of minutes via the GUI. Highlight all of your books and click Edit metadata, then use the Remove format option. Repeat as needed.

Or, right-click the "Remove books" button on the main screen toolbar and select "Remove all formats from selected books, except..."

The GUI options work great! I'm curious, however; is there and equivalent command line for the GUI option of "Remove all formats from selected book, except ..." ????
