sure, I don't mind. but before I do.
could you answer a couple questions that will ease my mind with respect to not loosing my library data.

1. my books are on an external drive. when I added them to calibre it looks like they've been copied to C:\Users\Rod\Documents\Calibre Library\Author
is that true for all books? or just converted books? Are all my books that I've added now both in the original location as well as \Calibre Library ?

2. can I move where calibre stores my library - could I move this folder C:\Users\Rod\Documents\Calibre Library to an external drive? how do I tell calibre that I've done that?

FYI - my pc is 64 bit. the version currently working is 64 bit. But, I don't know if I installed 32 or 64 bit originally.
