How to Move Library to New Computer

Sydney's Mom · 12-14-2015, 04:15 PM

I have a very large Calibre library on my old computer. I would like to move it to my new computer, and keep all the old date entered, etc. I have tried just copying one library into another, but it is not working. Is there a better way to move a library from one computer to another?

Thanks,

Debra

And if you want to transfer preferences -- e.g. conversion defaults, plugins, tweaks -- and not just custom column, plugboards etc. : http://manual.calibre-ebook.com/faq....backup-calibre
