Yes, I guess it looks like I have run out of directory space.

As far as the question of which books are recognized: the ones in \CC were transferred wirelessly and were recognized by both Calibre and CC. The ones in \Books were transferred via USB (MTP) and were recognized only by Calibre; CC never saw them and still doesn't, though it now sees that directory. Question: If I deleted them and transferred them again via USB, would CC see them ?

If not, it looks like one way or another it might be best to wipe everything and start from scratch, either by using the templates to reduce directory size, the allocation of different formats to different directories, or something of the sort.

Here is a crazy suggestion; maybe you could tell me if there is possiblity it might work: there is a driver available from Paradox Software which supposedly allows you to connect an external USB drive that is formatted with NTFS and will supposedly work with standard Android software and file managers. I have a Note 9 which supposedly could support a USB-C hub (though they seem to be hard to find for Android) and could conceivably connect an external NTFS drive via one of its USB ports. Would CC recognize that ?

Otherwise I am wondering whether in the long run it might be better just to go with Calibre and install it on some compact Windows-based (or maybe Linux-based) tablet that could support a large number of files. Though that would be a much more expensive solution. Or to use CC on my current tablet only selectively.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks
Charles
