The problem I started with had little to do with all this and I have been (single-)using Calibre for years from my NAS, indeed storing the database locally. Don't know why anymore, anyway I forgot about it in a way. For the (good?) reason mentioned above I wanted to be able to access the books by way of Calibre from two PC's. Now Chalye tells me the database will be destroyed which doesn't seem correct from my experience. It can become inconsistent as he describes in a later post. As I am still "single-using" chances are small if non-existent. I am willing to take that small risk, probably resulting in deleting and adding a book again. Then I make backups regularly. There seems to be a possibility to run a Calibre server on my Synology NAS. I guess it would be truly multi-user. I would prefer that, but the installation looked too much for my limited Linux knowledge.
