My question is can I install another copy of Calibre on my computer and keep it separate from the first one? I apologise if this has been answered before but I do not regularly read the forum and have not updated my first copy of Calibre for a long time because I worry about losing the books already entered.
You can create a new library and swap between them. On the toolbar, press the library button (looks like the Calibre icon and probably has the number of books in your library under it). Then select "Switch/create library...". On the dialog, enter or select a location for the new library, choose the create option and press the OK button. Then you can add books to this. To swap between the libraries, press this library button and it will list the available libraries.
