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?
Dual boot can cause filename CASE issues, not TOTAL loss of library. The books are there, you just can't get at them (from Calibre UI) if the now have the wrong case.
OTOH NAS/networked drives can insert timing issues. Calibre does a set of tasks (more like a 'Transaction', but the undelayment does not support true 'Transactions' w/rollback)

Cloud just fight and need to be suspended for the duration of a Calibre session (and given time to mirror afrer stopping Calibre.
