Dear all,

I mirrored my main calibre library to my tablet's SD card. I would now like to use CC to read the database and display its contents.

I tried to set the main CC folder to the root of the calibre library I just copied, but nothing happens.

I know I could connect to the main calibre library as a device, or use a cloud service, but that is not what I need to do: I would like the whole library to be available on the device independently on any internet connection, and copying it directly to an SD card is much faster than going through a massive wifi copy-to-device.

Is there a way to achieve this?

Thanks for your help,

Andrea.
