You will likely need to add books from a directory and it's subdirectories (see the Adding From Directories at the end of the Add section in https://manual.calibre-ebook.com/gen...bredb.html#add ). I have not used that functionality but the --recurse or -r and --one-book-per-directory or -1 options should work (the one book item may not be needed if the second library only has a single format in each subdirectory).

Unless that 500GB library is a single directory which is somewhat unlikely, IMNSHO.

Edit: I don't want to think about the provenance of a 500GB ebook library.
