ps ignore the expensive spam? link above -totally unnecessary! - you are simply copying a collection of data files from A to B. if the laptop & desktop are not networked then use a memory stick .

make sure you copy the entire folder. in addition to all of the books, it also contains a vital file called metadata.db which calibre needs for library management.
what he says, I only zip because it saves space on the memory stick
