I don't want to mess with it at all it is so not my thing. Here is the stitch: I downloaded Calibre to the new laptop (windows 8) everything went fine. I had all my files saved on a portable hard drive. Copied and pasted everything into the Calibre folder but nothing shows up in the program. That is a new one to me this method has always worked in the past. So I went looking to find out why it was happening. Nothing worked and my library still wasn't showing up in Calibre. I even uninstalled and reinstalled just to be sure that it wasn't a glitch of some kind still nothing worked. It was suggested to me that the problem might be in that json file that shows icook when you look at it. It is the only thing that is different so I figured it must be the problem. BTW when I double clicked the icon it took me to the icook program only a blank page. See below:
