can't add books

Clio · 04-17-2022, 03:16 AM

Hello,

I am hoping someone might be able to give me some advice. I have been adding some kindle books to my Calibre library. Everything worked perfectly just yesterday. But when I tried to add some more books this morning, I am getting this error message.

Please does anyone know why this is happening, and what I can do about it? I'm confused because everything was fine just yesterday, and I haven't changed anything.

Thanks in advance for any help!

calibre, version 5.40.0

That indicates a corrupted database. You can try rebuilding it (click the library icon in the calibre toolbar, choose library maintenance and restore database)
