Thanks to everyone on this forum. I know that this isn't exactly what I asked for in the beginning but based on the responses here I did some more work with Onedrive and the cloud. I think that if I make the cloud my mother's books only, show minimal metadata and only have one method of connection (cloud) I can make this usable by her. It looks quite good in my testing. If I have her connect whenever I add just a couple of books then there won't be too many new books for her to handle at once. When I come back (8 months later) I will see what she has deleted from CC and update my master Calibre. Thanks for pointing me in this direction and for being understanding of the problem.
Chaley, I think I will test your solutions when I can for other purposes. Thanks again for the great product.......Jackie
PS any readers here from Scandinavia - that is where I plan on spending the summer in my North American motorhome and why I won't be in Canada to directly support my mother. All I need now is some wifi north of the Arctic Circle!
