I am reasonably new to this forum. I have been using Calibre for a number of years but I now have an issue. In order to allow my daughter to take the library to her home and peruse the books, I am using version 4.7 portable on a USB hard drive. I have close to 40,000 books. They come from the original directory that contained all of the books as well as a new directory that was created when calibre built its database. I have spent many, many hours cleaning things up like making sure all books have a proper cover and that each entry points to a valid ebook file, as well as deleting duplicates. Is there a way save this clean information to a new directory structure without fearing losing all the time that I spent editing?

Thanx
