Ie if i "save to disk" any collection it puts it out in a hierarchy of folders. Fine. BUT when i try to read it in again Calibre will only read files (or collections of files) NOT folders.

So is there any way of modifying either the input or output of C to get a compatible collection?
STD is not the way to move books between Libraries (portable or regular)

Multiple (separate) Portable Libraries only adds a bit of confusion in that the primary in each instance is all named the same (Calibre Library).

With the USB stick (or drive) for Both Libraries inserted, Start Calibre from the SOURCE Library: then select books: Right-click: Copy to Library

This make an Metadata entry AND moves/copies the book to the destination Library.
Done
