Now the desktop is back in service I would like to merge the two libraries into a single library, initially using a memory stick to synchronise two versions of the new library between the laptop & the desktop using GoodSync v 8.6.9
In due course I may move to GoodSync 9+ which will allow synchronisation of two computers directly, via local network or Internet.
Would a solution be to download the ebooks from the smaller library & then re-upload to the larger library?
Will synchronisation using GoodSync work ? If not is there another solution ?
New user - please be gentle!

I have no familiarity with GoodSync, so can't comment on it. But there are perfectly good free ways to do this. Personally, I use RoboCopy (included in Windows 7, and available as a free download for early versions of Windows)
First, getting the books from the smaller library to the larger. You don't specify what your operating system is, but I'm assuming we have network connectivity. Open the larger library in Calibre, and then use the Add button to add books from the smaller one. If you're running Windows, then mapping the hard disk of each of your computers to a drive letter on your other computer might simplify this.
