The standard instructions for switching to a new computer will migrate that.
how did switching to a new computer get in on the act .

My special conversion libraries are calibre portable folders that share the Calibre folder via a symlink and the calibre-portable.exe via a hardlink, they each have there own Calibre Library and Calibre Settings folders. I update the 'master' Calibre portable every tenth release. I don't keep books in them I just convert in them using the default, but different, files in each Calibre Settings folder. They each service different sources - eg I have s series of them for central banks reports - ECB, OldLady, TheFed, RBoC, RBA etc.

Actually even if there was an Export/Import I might still prefer to do it this way - its more-or-less foolproof. and the storage overhead for each instance is a mere 138KB.
