Did that create a new format file in the book folder or overwrite the existing one? And what happens, if you try to open the format from within calibre?

Pressing O opens the file folder but it is empty and yet when I go to the calibre folder and open it from there the books are there. I should add that running the library maintenance tool apparently duplicated all the folders and they all have the same files in them. Double clicking an epub or mobi from the calibre folder results in it opening and telling me the book is already in the library. Telling it to go ahead anyway creates an entry that I can then open.

At this point the easiest thing for me to do is to transfer files from the calibre folder manually to the Kindle.

I am guessing that I shouldn't run restore database from library maintenance?
