How to select all files of a certain type in a folder?

I use Calibre to manage my .epub files, and these files are located in folders within folders within folders. My questions is whether I can use Windows Explorer to see all of the .epub files located located in my Calibre Library (which is the folder which contains all of the other folders/files) without having to go into each individual folder and copy the individual files out.

Yes, you can. Just make sure that in your Folder Options you can view the file extension of your files. Then, at the "topmost" folder containing those folders within folders, type in ".epub" in the search box at the upper right corner of the Windows Explorer window. All your files within that folder that have a file extension of .epub will be listed.

This method can be used in looking for or listing all files of a certain file extension within certain folders.
