What is the best way to migrate a calibre installation? I assume it has built a catalog, plugin info, etc. how can I install this on another machine. Can I install the same version, and then copy some files from current machine to other? while calibre is not running?

Laptop 1: 0.7.38 (heavy use, plugins)
Laptop 2: 0.7.26 (not used much)

I see 0.7.40 is also available tonight.
What Gweminance said, just have 2 different Library folder names.
After selecting the Library (little arrow next to the books icon), you have an option to merge or you can select some books and Right-Click and Merge just those.
