Waranaing - 1.34.0 msi - Latest Calibre Download
I have sent this to the 'report a but department' - but you should be aware.
I just opened my Calibre E-book Management to add another book to my Kindle - and a Calibre text box popped up saying there was a new Calibre update to add - 1.34.0 msi. I followed through as normal but this time when I opened my Calibre, there were no books left !! I restarted and received the same result - nada. I plugged in my Kindle to the computer and clicked Calibre E-book Viewer - but Calibre could not connect with my Kindle. |

Wow. That's sounds like a particularly nasty but.

Have you gone to the directory where your Calibre library is on your computer?

"Waranaing?"
Yes – good question – can you tell I was stressed. Sorry about that ![]() I followed all instructions but nothing worked. I had not realized that with this new download - for some reason - it decided to create a brand new library and move it to a brand new area. Thus I now had two libraries – well I am sure one is corrupted. For a friend pointed out this possibility to me. So I searched and sure enough, two libraries came up - clicking on one produced nada - clicking on the other worked. Totally boggled but terribly relieved. |

Was your real library in the default location? I believe it is
C:\Users\<username>\Documents\Calibre Library on Win7/8 -- "Documents and Settings" not "Users" on WinXP of course. If not, perhaps your settings got munged and it recreated the default location. |

This happened to me, too. I found my old library moved to "C:\Users\<username>\Documents\My Kindle Editions" somehow.
I moved that one back to Calibre Library, and it seems to be okay. |

... and no doubt you have redundant backups of everything on your hard drive?

Yes - I have a backup of my hard drive. As I previously stated, my problem was that I did not know Calibre had created a totally new library, and that Calibre also filed this new library using a totally new path. Thus I now had two Calibre libraries. I kept following instructions and clicking what I did not know, was the the 'old' library. Thank you everyone for responding.

That would be a nasty shock to think that all your books had vanished. Glad you got the problem resolved.
