Ok, this is a perfect example of what I've been talking about lately. I appreciate that you were able to provide an answer and were willing to share it, but you need to keep in mind not everyone who uses calibre is computer savvy. If s/he is not very savvy (like me, for example), this advice would have been useless. I'll speak up and say I have no clue what it meant (one of the advantages of old age is not caring what people think of me) and ask for simple, step by step directions but not everyone is willing to do so.

(BTW, I'm not interested in the explanation for this but the OP might.)
