I don't think that the original question was answered. However, I did read in the FAQ that one can copy the Calibre directory in entirety onto a sub-folder in the SD card & CC will find/use it; seems reasonable for mass copy for an initial setup.

However, also read the CC will then consider the directory as the "Calibre place". But I still wan to use Calibre on the PC to catalog the books, etc; will CC see the new books on the PC & then add the book to the SD version of the Calibre directory? IOW, once the Calibre directory has been copied onto the SD, can that become CC's directory also or will CC still have its own directory for books.

I will be finished updating Calibre shortly & want to get away from using Aldiko & its library; Aldiko is nice but will not store its library on an SD card.

There should be a FAQ on how to mass create(?) a CC library onto an SD card especially if it is the same format(?). Would love to just put the Calibre library onto the SD card via a card reader & then CC can just use that as the CC library as well.

Not sure I'm making sense............but getting about 500 books into the CC library looks to be time consuming(?) unless it is just time used in the wireless connection & I don't have to do manual manipulation for a initial setup.

Haven't gotten CC yet as haven't finished doing what needs to be done on the Calibre side; may now be a few days longer as read about Calibre "collections" on one of the FAQs.
