Hi from 3cdsta to MobileRead users. I am very new to Forum use and although I am computer literate I am not Web-site literate. At this moment I am afraid that I am lost with the same problem as MichaelP. I have been using Calibre for my ebooks and converting them as necessary to MOBI for my Kindle. Conversion is at best poor (misspellings strange paragraph layouts etc) with some very poor. To be fair, Calibre does say that conversion from pdf is the poorest and many of my ebook purchases have been pdf. However that is not my problem today. Twice now I have lost my complete Library. The first time was soon after I started and I thought it must have been caused by me and simply re-loaded everything. The second was yesterday and I am not happy! Anyone who uses Calibre will know that almost every time the site is loaded there is a request to upgrade to next version and I always do so. Both apparent total deletions of my Library seem to have occured when this happens. When the upgrade finished Calibre opened on the library page and it was entirely blank. I have assumed everything is deleted but I suppose the list may be hidden somewhere. If it is, I cannot find it. MichaelP says he has tried "switch/create library" but I have not as I do not know what this means. I have not found any help in the Manual and the replies received in this thread (I think that is the right phrase!) are largely unintelligible to me. Is there anything I can do to find my books or do I have to once again reload all of them and once again tidy up each one? Help please.
