Hello - new Calibre geek/amateur PC guru signing in

Hi y'all.

I'm a noob. I LOVE Calibre. I have so many eBooks/articles I'm not sure exactly how many I have, lol. I got a lot w/out covers, so I taught myself to make them and put them on PDF's and EPUB's. Plus how to format really messy stuff. I'm having too much fun!!

As for PC, I have a Dell w/Windows 11, and have always used Android products for eBooks and tablets. OneDrive is so annoying, though, I really want to try Linux. When I did a dry run of Calibre on my external drive, omg, it was SO much faster.....

Hello and welcome to MobileRead!

Just a note: you don't necessarily have to use OneDrive on Windows. I've never logged in to OneDrive on my Windows computers and have any automatic syncing or even starting disabled. No problems.

If you want OneDrive syncing with Linux, you can either buy a licence for InSync, it works great, or learn how to use rclone to mount OneDrive on a directory on your linux machine (free).
