iTunes book locations

jflatto · 05-19-2011, 05:12 PM

I just converted a large number of books (roughly 2000) to epub format and had Calibre automatically add them to itunes for syncing to my ipad.

When Calibre created the epubs, where where they physically stored on my computer? I have looked in the Calibre folder and did not see a separate folder for the epubs. Are the epubs created by calibre and then stored under the various authors in the Calibre folder or does itunes stick them somewhere?

I have some ebooks cause errors when itunes tries to sync them with my iPad so I wanted to physically look at these books.

Thanks.

I believe the books are by author. If you have a .mobi and an .epub for the same author, they will be in the same folder. Didn't you just look in the folder(s)?

If you follow the directions in the FAQ, iTunes uses the epubs already in the calibre database, stored by author.
