2 Places in their entirety (Single Library
)
1) The entire Library
folder (the one that
contains Metadata.db)
2) the Calibre Configuration Folder (to find: Preference: Miscel...: click the button at the bottom)
That is it:
When you get you new
I like to Install Calibre first (Just accept the generic stuff, it will be replaced)
Locate where the New Configuration directory is (may change due to OS or Username changes)
Quit Calibre fully (Ctrl-Q)
system up:
(Replace if your original used the default name) Place the OLD Library FOLDER.
Start Calibre: don't panic: If the Library path has changed, you need to point Calibre at the new location. Right click The Library Icon: Create/Switch: Use Existing: <browse to location>
That does it
