move ebooks between libraries using calibredb

reup · Yesterday, 02:00 PM

hello all

I use GNU/linux and ssh to connect to my server

I have a 3 libraries, one exposed to internet and the rest are hidden, so I keep a minimum of ebooks available,
one of my library is for french books, the other for dutch books and when I need a book, I move it to the exposed library

I recently discovered the joy of calibredb and wonder if there is a way to move ebooks from one library to the other using the command line

calibredb --with-library /xxx/xxx/calibrefr move ids yyy bla bla bla

that would be great

regards
reup

calibredb works with a single library at a time so no moving between libraries. Nut it has both export, remove and add commands which you can use to achieve the same thing.
