Thanks for the icon tip! I'll remember it for future posts.

I've finally found a way to use drag and drop without any problems... plus, I can use it on all three OS's (triple boot) 7, 8.1, and 10.

Simple solution - I installed Calibre (a slightly older portable version - once burned, twice shy!) on a flash drive, set the drive letter to "further down the alphabet" and left my Library files on a hard drive whose data is being shared with all three OS's.

Now I can just run it from the flash drive and everything works like it's supposed to. (All I really had to do was re-install the libraries using Switch/create library...)

The older I get, the more i appreciate a "simple" solution...

Thanks all...
