Max number of records

Hi What is the max number of books I can index in Calibre. I have at least 50 thousand. Could I add them all to Calibre?

There is no set limit to the number of books you can have in calibre. What it comes down to is do you have the disk space and RAM to support all of the books you have in mind. Such as, having 256 MB of RAM would probably prevent you from having 50K books in your library. That said there are a number of users with 50K+ books in calibre.

I don't have 50K books, but this is good to know, thanks for the info!
