As BR pointed out: presence of metadata.db is the defining aspect of a Calibre Library. Not the name.

The containing folder is the Library NAME. It can be almost anything ALL the file systems consider a legal name
Thank you for that clarification, but the only one that exists anywhere on my computer is the one that Calibre created AFTER telling me that it can't find my library (saved in a different location than the first, since my first one was named with the default "Calibre Library" name).

You mention 2 OS... Dual Boot??
Calibre is NOT NAS/Cloud safe. Local drive only.
Yes I dual boot. And yes I did skim through the FAQ section, but I did not read the section about storing the library on a networked drive (thus I did not see the part about it being a single user system and not working well between OSes, so thank you guys for pointing that out to me)

Well so if I cannot use Calibre between my OSx and windows boots, is there another program that can? Any suggestions? Or should I just keep my ebooks in some logically sorted system in my files?
