You can also move your files over manually and move just the ones you want (some people have a lot of crud leftover over the years of use so sometimes it's much saner to just move the stuff you need and archive the rest and dig it out only if you ever need it). Heck, you can even take it to Apple store and have one of the geniuses do it for you for free.
Calibre uses the same database on all OSes I've tried (Win/Lin/Mac) so all you need to do is copy files over and point the Calibre to use that folder (using the "Switch/create Library" option). There are no issues that I'm aware of.
Good luck and feel to PM for any issues  Ditching Win is best decision I made few years back. |
The issue with databases on different OS's is that the filenames in the Library folder will be different, since Windows filenames are not case sensitive. I would guess that migration between two unix-based OS's, say Ubuntu and OSX, wouldn't be a problem. But Windows will be special (special
needs?) as usual.
Though in my case, I ditched for linux, not OSX.
