I move the Original to Source Archive (on another system) after adding.
NOT an approved method;
Also note: Only 1 copy of Calibre is running when I do this.
I do a Manual Sync
I share the Library folder. AGAIN Calibre is Not running
On the Target PC, I launch Calibre: Switch to the shared Library: Select books (any way you can normally do it): Right-click: Copy To Library: (the one on this PC.)
I have had very good success with a PULL. do not attempt to make change to the remote (that is what I found to have stability issues).
