Question : how do you do that ?
I have a huge book collection taken from the Internet, with a lot of PDF in it.
So around 65 Gib.
Which means that I don't want to host it on my main computer's hard disk, just on an external disk.
But when I try to make the Calibre library on an external disk, I can't open Calibre after that without the external disk plugged in - which is clearly not what I want.

Is there a tutorial somewhere which explains how to have a main Calibre library on an external disk while still having some books on the computer itself ?

Thanks in advance !
