I already have Calibre on our computer with over 1000 books of mine in it.
My daughter also has an ereader and at the moment her 600+ books are just on an SD card.
I dont want to have both her books and mine in the same Calibre. I want to be able to browse through all my books without having to see all hers too, and vice versa.
I tried downloading a different version of Calibre but it just wanted to replace my existing one.
Is there a way to have 2 Calibre's on one computer please?
Create a second library. The icon on top of the bookshelf, with "Calibre Library" underneath it, has a dropdown -- the first option is to "create/switch library".
