Adding books copied from a Calibre database to a USB stick
I received a USB stick with a large number of folders that were taken from a Calibre library. It was not exported, just copied. So all the info (jpg, epub and OPF) is available. How can I get all the info into Calibre without loosing information?

That preserves the metadata and covers and such?
So one of the formats Calibre is capable of importing is its own?
Brilliant! It's amazing how many software products don't do that.
