@EvM1 - are you saying that none of your library\author\book folders actually have any book files - eg files with extension MOBI. EPUB, DOC, DOCX etc

If they are not completely empty can you give me a clue what's there -

in the library folders:
is there a file called metadata.db ,
are there folders with Author names
in the Author folders are there
folders with Book Title names and a number - eg "Bleak House (3231)"
in the Book Title folders do these files exist
a file named cover.jpg
a file named metadata.opf
files with 'author name - book title.xxxx' where xxxx is MOBI, EPUB, DOCX etc

Sorry for being so pedantic - but I don't want to create further havoc by giving you bad advice based on false assumptions
