thanks. i got it working.

question about adding books by directories (or possibly even dragging to library in calibre from desktop): if i add a directory where i periodically download epubs to that exists separate from the actual calibre library directory, it appears that calibre takes the original source directory, leaves it intact and then copies the files INTO the actual calibre library folder. this would mean that i could download and import epubs / pdfs from many different / existing directories on my hard drive to calbre which then copies / dups them so that they all exist in one location under the calibre library folder withOUT affecting the originals.

is this correct? if so this is how i want it to work vs having calibre manage a bunch of unrelated directories under it's own hood. or perhaps it can work both ways. i'm not really clear.

thx
