The thing was, after I saw that Calibre was making its own copies of, for example, the .prc source files, I deleted some of the original source files myself because I didn't need multiple copies of them. Then when Calibre deleted its copies of them, my heartrate spiked. I guess if I want to take books out of the listing to keep the list small, I should first copy or move the files to an archive folder before I delete from the Calibre library. |

That looks pretty similar to what I saw.
By the way, Kovid--thanks for your quick response, and for the latest update that fixed the major epub problem I was having. I have two other questions, completely unrelated to the above: 1. I just copied my Calibre library files (I set Calibre to save books in a folder called Calibre Library) from one computer to another. What's the easiest way to load the same set of books into Calibre on the second machine? (I can't seem to add folders, as opposed to individual book files, and there are a lot of folders to open to add the individual books.) 2. I was going to ask if I could change tags right on the Reader, but never mind--I just did it! |

It does mean, however, that I need to add books to Calibre only as I intend to convert from .prc or other, or else I'll be forever forgetting which ones I've converted and which I haven't. |

You should just be able to set the database path to the copied folder in the config dialog. Alternatively, click the arrow next to the add books button to import recursively from directories. |

EDIT: ACK! Moderator, please delete this post. This post was originally about Calibre's "Remove books" button removing from the PC, not just the Library, and I thought I lost my original purchased book. But I found the original downloaded files in another folder.
So the procedure for those who use Calibre to convert, but Sony's eBook Library to load, is to make a copy of Calibre's output .lrf file in some other location before invoking Calibre's "Remove books", and load the new .lrf copy into eBook Library. Last edited by jj2me; 12-29-2008 at 05:41 PM. |

Actually, I've just changed calibre's delete books button to ask for confirmation by default, since I'm tired of responding to this problem (there was earlier an option in the config dialog that you could use to turn on the confirmation).
For those that like their computer use to be efficient, you can turn off the confirmation dialog via a checkbox in the dialog itself. |

Also, one might want to utilize these two Library apps to catalog one's collection, e.g., newspaper and magazine subscriptions on Calibre and books on eBook Library. |

One strong advantage of Calibre I've discovered in the last day is the ability (on non-DRM books) to change the metadata and tags to help sort the books once they're on the Reader. For example, Fiction / Science Fiction / Fantasy / short stories, etc. (At least on the PRS700, which creates collections of these groups. Don't know about the other Reader models.)
