Hi there from Bavaria!

I have been reading loads of books on "kindles" and i am a happy user of the incredible "Calibre" tool to get this all sorted properly.

Recently I added a new gadget to my inventory and first ever i got stuck even using Calibre with it.

The new gadget is a macbook (air) and since it is a nice tool to work with i stored my new books (epub documents) on the respective tool "ibooks". (with no Calibre involved)

I thought once it is there i can easily also manage to transfer it for reading to any other of my readers. I was wrong.
Thanks to this forum i found at least the deeply hidden location on the mac where the books are kept in a broken up file structure.
But trying to import them into Calibre I miserably failed.

Before i go posting this to a thread somewhere else here: can anyone help a novice to identify the proper location?
or maybe even have a solution at hands?- ok, dreaming ...

cheers,
umi
