The reason is that I use linux as my main OS and I do not fire up a virtual windows I buy a single ebook. Thus, there are bunches of a few dozen ebbok typically that need to be imported into calibre.\r\nThis worked quite easy recently as I only had to sort the kindle library by date and add the newly added files to calibre via drag'n'drop.\r\n\r\nSince the new data structure of the kindle library (book in folders), I have to add all book separately. A very time-consuming and tendons work. What are your suggestions in order to get this done within reasonable time? I had the following ideas (although I do not know if all are usable):\r\n\r\n- Put the kindle library in some folder accessible from within linux. Then I can search for all files with certain properties (creation date, file extension,...). These files could be either copied or linked to another location. Starting from there I could ...\r\n  - ... install DeDRM under calibre running under linux. (As it is a python script it should be possible?!?) Then I import the clone/links into calibre under linux.\r\n  - ... make the linked/cloned files visible in the virtual machine and import using windows' calibre installation.\r\n  - ... import the files using some CLI magic into calibre.\r\n- Import from calibre using the recursive add function. This might cause trouble with the other files (cover etc.) inside the kindle library.\r\n\r\nWhat is your suggestion to import the files on a batch-level?"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/apprenticeharper/DeDRM_tools/issues/comments/415087640","html_url":"https://github.com/apprenticeharper/DeDRM_tools/issues/604#issuecomment-415087640","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/apprenticeharper/DeDRM_tools/issues/604","id":415087640,"node_id":"MDEyOklzc3VlQ29tbWVudDQxNTA4NzY0MA==","user":{"login":"ElleKayEm","id":11619149,"node_id":"MDQ6VXNlcjExNjE5MTQ5","avatar_url":"https://avatars3.githubusercontent.com/u/11619149?v=4","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/ElleKayEm","html_url":"https://github.com/ElleKayEm","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ElleKayEm/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ElleKayEm/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ElleKayEm/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ElleKayEm/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ElleKayEm/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ElleKayEm/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ElleKayEm/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ElleKayEm/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ElleKayEm/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2018-08-22T16:07:59Z","updated_at":"2018-08-22T16:07:59Z","author_association":"NONE","body":"You can install the DeDRM plugin in Linux calibre.
