Multi kindle
Hello, I have 2 kindle voyage, one for me and one for my wife. We do not read the same books. Is there a way to manage 2 different kindle in Calibre, with 2 separate libraries? I could not find a way.
Thanks' in advance for any help. Best regards. |

You can create as many separate libraries with Calibre as you like, and switch between them with a couple of clicks, even when your device is connected.
Click on the library icon and choose switch/create library. If you already have an existing library, choose Use the previously existing library at the new location and select the folder your library is in. If you want to create an entirely new library, choose Create an empty library at the new location and select the folder you want your new library to be in. Once the libraries are created, you can switch between them by clicking on the library icon and choosing the library name from the dropdown. You can switch before you connect the Kindle or when the Kindle is already connected, there's no difference. Last edited by Sirtel; 08-22-2018 at 03:04 PM. |

You could run one big library and add either a custom column or a tag to indicate which user applies.
Use a VL (virtual Library) to create a per user view. based upon your tag method. BTW I read a few of the same books my wife does, so the might also want to look for neither tag present (both users) |

It might also be worth installing the Reading List plugin so that you can queue books to be downloaded to a specific Kindle.
