ilovejedd : thats exactly what I want to do but the metadata.db file corrupts when its on a network drive.

Mrmikel: I only use Linux and won't be using windows at all, or access from more than one machine.

Looking at the Calibre site, the way to separate the metadata.db from the actual epub files is to configure the calibre-portable.bat file and set the CALIBRE_OVERRIDE_DATABASE_PATH to point to a DB on the local drive. That doesn't seem to work for me though.

Thanks for the response though, I'll keep trying to figure it out.
