I tried to screenshot but the error appeared and disappeared too quickly.

I don't know if this will help or not but I have a large Calibre library and for my husband and my mother I have created a second (and third) library with their name. On my main library I selected all the books that my husband will want to read and copied them to the new library. Now, after I add new books to my main library, I look at the latest date in his library and add any new books of interest to him from that date by copying them in Calibre from one library to another. He can then use CC or CS or OPDS to download his books. When I add a book, I have a custom column for my mother and my husband. I update it if I think they might be interested in the book. Some people might just do this via genre. Either way, I find that just coping files to the smaller library starting from the last date is a really easy way to keep them in sync. I haven't had problems with any of the access methods and data corruption........Jackie
