Well, it's good to be reassured that it can't have been the update. That's one less thing to worry about.

I can't be sure that the library was present immediately prior to the update no, I hadn't checked it in a while. I definitely didn't do anything deliberately to move or delete it. I have two hard drives in my computer, it's always been on the same one of them. The Calibre Library folder and metadata.db file are in the same place they've always been. It's just that the 10,000+ books that used to be there aren't now.

I can't imagine what it could have been.

I'm just using the Windows search function to search for epubs. Is there a better way or a reason that wouldn't work? I've run the search on both of my hard drives. No dice.
