My problem turns out to be a little more complex, but it's manageable at this point. The first two times I did this, I just ignored the problem and started manually adding books as I read them.

So in my home directory, I now have Calibre Library, Calibre Library2, and Calibre Library 3.

In those directories (before I ran the chmod command you just gave me) I see the following files:

-rw-r--r-- 1 krikket krikket 528384 Jun 24 20:17 metadata.db
-rw-rw-r-- 1 krikket krikket 12817 Jun 24 20:17 metadata_db_prefs_backup.json

Is there a way to merge the files from the 3 directories in a way that will make Calibre happy? (And yes, there are some duplicates...) If not, I can just take the directory with the most files and use that as a base. The problem is manageable at this point.

So once again, thank you very much!!!
