+1.

Alternately, get a new external drive to use:
1.Copy library and config files from the old machine to the new external drive
2.Install calibre on the new machine and quit calibre (all components).
3.Connect external drive to new machine
4. Copy library and config files to new machine letting the copied files replace those created by the new machine's calibre installation.

Once you've verified the transfer went properly, the new external drive can be reused as a backup drive, which you of course need to have.
