Thanks.
In that case can I use the “add books” feature of Calibre to get the library back onto the original windows 8 computer ? At the moment, following unsuccessful attempts to export/import, all my books are in a folder “Calibre Library “ but not on main Calibre interface (if that’s correct name).
If so I could then download the same version of Calibre to windows 8 as is available for my new MacBook. And then try the export/import feature again to migrate from windows 8 to MacBook.
Or is there a better way please?
