merging books in two copies of Calibre
I have Calibre on both my home and work computers. I have different sets of books on each installation. Is there a way to merge or sync them so I have the same books on both installations?
Thanks in advance. |

Is it possible just to copy the books on one installation onto a flash drive and "add" them to the other installation? Would it mess up the meta-information so I would have to re-do it all?

Maybe kovidgoyal will be along with a suggestion that might not be a PITA...

Not really, you have to save to disk and the add books recursively. That should preserve all your metadata.

I use dropbox for my books / calibre and all is working fine. I don't worry about loading two copies at once as I am never using more then one computer at a time.
