If the answer to this question is already out there somewhere, I apologize. I looked but didn't find it. Please point me in the right direction.

I've recently started using Calibre after switching from Nook. All was fine when I used it from only one machine but I have 3 computers I'd like to access it from (never 2 at the same time).

I first tried putting the library on Google Drive and that didn't work well and then I saw the caveats against it saying the GD can break the library. I then switched to OneDrive.

Using OneDrive the books and virtual libraries are all there. If I add a book or a virtual library, I see it on both machines (haven't tried the 3rd yet). OTOH it does not seem to keep track of the last page read in a book or of bookmarks.

Are these stored locally or is there some other piece of this I've missed?

Thanks,

- Dick
