Dang! I tried that, and it didn't do a thing. Thought I might delete the configuration and preferences too - and any extraneous files. Would prefer to keep my library, but am unsure - does it use the same library as 1.48? 'Cause if it's a different library, the new version is empty and would have to be rebuilt anyway ('cause I haven't been able to use it). I'd kinda hate to lose my old library - but perhaps I can just find where it's stored and back that up - clear the whole system of everything from the new version - and insert that back.

I'm at a loss. I was teaching a "Making Ebooks with InDesign" class today, and always recommend Calibre - but was only able to show the old version to the students (I teach online, so use my own machine). I suggested they try it, and hoped they'd have a good, working outcome.

This is a great app - and perfect for that class and for my personal use... just wish I could get it to work...

I can look around in the Library and user library on my Mac for files - but if anyone has any input on where they're stored, it may ensure I don't miss anything...

BTW - LOVE your Pratchett quotes!
