Gigantic book library
Hi. I have 50GB of books and I want to index them. Problem:
Calibre copies the books. so I'll need another 50GB. can calibre cut the books and take them to it's own library instead of copying them? |

You have to do it in batches anyway, so take a thousand books, import them to Calibre, backup them and then delete originals. Repeat 50 times ;-)

If you got the books some other way you should complain to the supplier and ask for a replacement with books that have correct metadata. |
