According to their FAQ you can adjust the maximum number in the preferences: https://www.maplepop.com/web/mr/help...alibre_oneshot

Thanks so much! I kept trying to find the limit in MapleRead, never occurred to me that I needed to adjust in Calibre.

Another question. I want to use the "book set" function. When I attempt to move books into a new set, I only get the option to copy, move is greyed out. If I copy a book to a book set does MapleRead actually duplicate the book into the set, or does it just create a pointer?

Are you copying from the Undefined set, or a custom created set? From "All Books" you can only "copy" to a secondary set. But from your custom created or the Ungrouped set, you should be able to copy or move.

Essentially your "All Books" is the primary list, from there Copy puts a reference in the new set but maintains the reference in the original set or All Books, Move removes the book from the original set to put it in the new set (unless All Books was the original.) A book can be in more than one set, because the set is basically just a collection of pointers.

Thanks, that's what I needed to know. I'm running out of disk space, so wanted to make sure I wasn't using more than was available.
