Finding all my mobi files and converting them to KF8
A lot of my older books, I bought back when I had a Kindle Keyboard and Mobi, was my only choice (was buying books off bn.com for the wife's nook and converting to Kindle.)

While going through my Library, I noticed about a 50/50 split between books that were in KF8(AZW3) and MOBI format.

Is there any way to get Calibre to find all my MOBI files and convert them to AZW3?

Use the Tag Browser or
Formats: "=MOBI" but I am not sure that can detect just Old Mobi (and not Dual Mobi)

But what do gain? Up-converting can't put features that were not there in the original. You would need to do some additional work (edits) to see a benefit
