Choose that and navigate to the folder on the device you want Calibre to play in. Upon OK, calibre will do its thing and another library icon should appear.
One note: if you point at a folder with books in it, calibre will see them. However, calibre stores books using its own scheme, which you can control using calibre's preferences. If the existing books don't use the same scheme, then calibre won't overwrite them if you send the book again. You will get another copy. To simplify things, I made a new ebooks folder and populated it using calibre, pointed Freda at this new folder, then deleted my old one.

Nope, my PDA shows up with the drives in Windows Explorer, but not with a drive letter. I can navigate to the folder on the SD card that way. But it doesn't show up in Calibre's dialogue box.
Hmm. But maybe it'll work if I pop the SD card into the computer, and do it that way... I'll have to try.
EDIT: Aha, yes! I see the new Calibre also marks which items in the library are also in the device, and vice versa. I found some stories on my SD card that I actually had neglected to add to Calibre.
