Two divers questions
(This post brought to you by the "Save Old Spellings" society)


1. Now that my Sage cover has arrived, it's time to hand over my Libra H20 to my wife. How do I transfer books from my Calibre library to hers?


2. How do I set Calibre to open up with the library sorted by multiple columns? I'd like to have the default view be sorted by percent read - ascending, then page count ascending and finally date added descending. I've had a look at the manual and the preferences, but couldn't figure out how to do this.

Thank you for that! It worked perfectly, after giving me a reminder lesson in the importance of not omitting a single comma.

As to transferring books to your wife's library, just select those you want to transfer, right-click and choose "Copy to library...". Or is her library on a different computer?

Thanks. I googled it after posting and discovered that option - it was hidden because previously I'd only ever had one library
