I seem to be stuck in the starting gate. Suggestions?
Thanks,

First, what version of Calibre are you running? You can find this out by looking at the bottom left of the Calibre screen. If it's a version before 0.8.38 you will need to update to take advantage of the automatic download feature.
Second, you can select multiple books in single directory by doing one of two things. If you want to select multiple books in a row, say the entire directory. Click on the first book. Then while holding down the Shift key click on the last book you want to select. All of the books between the first and last one selected will now be highlighted. You can now add them all. Or, alternatively, by holding down the CTRL key while clicking each book you want to select you can choose multiple books without having to select all of them. Again once you're done the books you want will be highlighted and you can now Add them.
Third, Download And Transfer Via USB will not be found under the Add Books menu on the Main Toolbar. You need to go to Preferences then Add Books where you set your options for Add Books.
I hope this helps.
