Is it possible for Calibre to search throughout the computer for ebooks and import them into Calibre like Picasa does with my photos.
This would be a big improvement.
No. (and not all 'books' (the standard formats) belong in a library. My bank statements are PDF )

Why haven't you just copied your Library (name) folder across to the New PC or restored it from backup?
