I moved these posts to a new thread, because the advice given to Sandra4855 is somewhat contrary to that given in the original 2012 thread.

To clarify the prior responses - the default library will be created in the user's Documents directory, and the configuration in the user's %APPDATA% directory.

If users wanted to share the same configuration data they could do so via the use of the CALIBRE_CONFIG_DIRECTORY environment variable.

@Sandra4855 - If you're not inclined to create multiple Windows User accounts because of the administration burden, another way to do this might be to use Virtual Libraries .

That could provide a user interface something like this:

Click image for larger version

Name:	Capture.JPG
Views:	131
Size:	52.2 KB
ID:	156314

That would also address the content server issue raised the theducks, the content server 'knows' about virtual libraries.

My only caveat is that I don't know how a Virtual Library solution would mesh with your Kindle Paperwhite devices and the Amazon walled garden. Others may care to comment on that.
