Am moving my Calibre library onto a new Macbook, as my old 12-year old Mac system isn’t capable of getting any more updates.
I thought I would “copy” the contents of my Calibre Library onto a USB stick, and then set up a new version Calibre onto the new computer and import the data from the USB into it. Is that the easiest way?
Also - now Calibre on the old computer is empty....but there’s still a Calibre book folder in existence on it. I thought I had merely COPIED the data, not MOVED it.
