You are indeed correct. In addition, I just ran the "Check Library" command and everything matches in both directions.

I'll try that and see. It might take me a few days, because the two computers are in different locations. Having said that, if I make a change on one of the computers, then the cache on the other computer will no longer match the contents of the database? What does Calibre do in that situation?

Got it. Well, its still worth having the automatic epub update, so I will live with the longer connect times.
