I am trying Calibre Sync for the first time. Like so many others, I have loved CC for years but now have to leave. I read everything that I could about CS. My Calibre library contains books my husband wants to read and books that I want to read, obviously with overlap. In Calibre I have a virtual library for both of us and multiple custom columns. I don't want my entire library on my phone. I want my unread books from my virtual library. If someone knows an easy way of doing this I would really appreciate it. I am willing to play around and try things.

For my first attempt, I copied all my unread books into a separate Calibre library. I then followed the very strong suggestion(s) in this forum and used Windows Explorer and copied this new library onto my phone. I can access it very nicely from CS. My problem is that I don't know how to make the sync portion work. The CS folder is now not at all connected to my Calibre library on Windows. The read/unread won't sync. I don't know how to sync new books that I add to my library. Is there some way that I can link my CS folder/library with Calibre? If not, do I need to start over, delete the existing CS library and use Content Server to create all the books on my Android device(s). If I go the Content Server route, is there a way to download a virtual library and not the entire library? If not, then I will use Content Server on the smaller library I created of my unread books. Once I find what works well, I will do the same thing for my husband's books.........Jackie
