Where does eBook Library store files on a PC?
I've downloaded Calibre and much prefer it to the Sony software, so I want to move all my books from the eBook Library into Calibre.
Unfortunately, I can't find them on my hard drive! I've tried searching on the titles - no luck; I've tried searching on Author - no luck; I've tried searching on File Size - no luck; I've gone cross-eyed from manually checking through all my folders - no luck; I've tried dragging and dropping from eBook - no luck. Does anybody know where this dratted program puts the books??? |

eBook Library is not a dratted program. It works well for what it does. The only feature I'd stay away from is auto-sync. That does not work well.
That being said, the eBooks you'd purchased can be found in My Documents\My Books\eBook Library. |

Oh, none of the books I have were bought from the eBook Store - I can't use it, because I'm not in the US. The books are from CDs, does that make a difference to where they go? Last edited by Dozy; 07-31-2009 at 08:14 PM. |

Dozy--When you have your book highlighted in your library, click on the preview button (the button that looks like a square inside a square just above the list of books on the left.) Then click on the info button (button with an i in the upper right). This will show you the information related to the current book, including the current path where the book is stored.
Hope this helps-- dordale |

Not without a slight problem, though, because when I looked for the folder the books are in, it wasn't there! Luckily, I had vague recollections about "hidden files", so I eventually got to the stage where I could get the computer to show them. And there they all are - at last. Technology is simply exhausting, isn't it? |

In your Documents or My Documents folder look for My Digital Editions, the books should be in there.
