Hi All,

New to Calibre but loving it.

Set up a few libraries on and external USB HD so as I want to have access when I travel and use different computers at different locations.

But when I try to open a libary at a new computer location got the following error message

calibre, version 0.8.18
ERROR: Bad database location: Bad database location u'H:\\ebook.14000'. calibre will now quit.

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\main.py", line 202, in initialize_db_stage2
File "site-packages\calibre\library\database2.py", line 216, in __init__
File "site-packages\calibre\library\database2.py", line 320, in initialize_dynamic
File "site-packages\calibre\library\sqlite.py", line 314, in run
DatabaseException: attempt to write a readonly database
RemoteTraceback (most recent call last):
File "site-packages\calibre\library\sqlite.py", line 271, in run
OperationalError: attempt to write a readonly database

Can anyone suggest a fix and let me know what is happening?
