I have Calibre on a Linux (not the Rasparian) on a 2G RAM Pi4. I have copied the library from my x86-64 Linux Mint. But I forget if I used Export & Import (reliable) or simply copied, or Add books. Single 512 G byte micro SD card. A 2.5K / QHD USB-C powered display that looks like a tablet. It does work with video and power from laptop, but on Pi I use the HDMI ports. I have 2 x 3A USB-C adaptors that run off 12V (nominal) or 2x mains PSUs or 2x power banks. The USB power adaptors are on a portable 14V 24 Ah LiFePO4 solar charged power pack. The solar panels fit in car boot.

About 8500 ebooks, most PD. There should be NO CONVERSION, if you are added ebooks from an existing Calibre Library, no matter which method is used.

I installed Calibre from the official Web site and made sure the same version as I'm running on the source library.

I don't actually use it for Calibre, it was just to make sure it worked.
