To everybody who has contributed to this thread:

I don't have iTunes, so calibre can't be connected to it. If I boot, no device plugged in,run calibre and I right-click on a book I always get a context menu:

Code:

Edit metadata
Send to device
View

If I hover the mouse over Send to device I get a sub-menu with all references to device greyed out, because there is no device connected.

Regarding Copy to Library. the original thread I found, the calibre manual and the first few posts to this thread all said Select files, right-click, and select Copy to library. The natural instinct is to right-click on one of the selected books. This does not give the option Copy to library.

I may be wrong, but the only way I can see to do this is to have the Copy to library icon on the toolbar.

I don't quite see where new features, first installs, etc. comes into it. The point is one uses the Copy to library icon, not right-clicking on a file. Unless of course, my version of calibre runs diffently to everyone else's.
