Finally, I hit Bulk Convert with Mobi as the output format. Calibre then created a new file in each folder with the .mobi file (along with the .zip file, which stayed where it was).

I then tried Quitting Calibre and re-opening it. However, when I re-open Calibre, no books are displayed and it says Library 0 Books in the space to the left of the large Heart icon. But, all of the sub-folders and files that Calibre created when I first added the books to the library (including the .mobi file) are still in place.

How do I get the library to be retained in Calibre? If I use the Add Books option again, Calibre creates duplicates. I must be doing something wrong.

Thanks.
Are you sure you actually shut it down and aren't actually opening a second copy. Do you have the calibre icon in your menu bar tray?
