Greetings,
I have about 188GB of epubs, azw, pdfs, etc. My new MacBook Pro only has a 256GB hard drive. As such, it will be nearly impossible to store all of my files in calibre on the internal hard drive. Thus the following question: How can I (or even can I at all?) setup calibre to store -- and read -- its data on an external hard drive? I ask this because as it is currently setup, calibre copies books it opens into the calibre folder on the internal hard drive. Again, how can I setup calibre to store its files on an external hard drive?
