Option 1: In your filemanager, right click on an ebook or a docx or a PDF and select "Open with Calibre"
Option 2: Use the "Add Books" Icon. Use Ctrl-p to open Preferences menu and fix toolbar if you have no icon. Go to "Edit Metadata" to add an ebook to an existing title with no formats, click on the book with a plus. You can also import ebooks from an ereader, but only if they have no DRM. |

You can also add books to a library with drag drop of format files from your file manager onto the book list.
And you can add formats to existing books via the clipboard, by 'Copying' them in your file manager with Ctrl+C and 'Pasting' them into book lines in the book list -- give Add books->Add files to selected book records from clipboard a keyboard shortcut, I use Shift+Alt+V. BR |

I hate drag and drop. If the phone rings or you slip, who know where it goes?
