Can't get Calibre to display library

I don't know if this has happened due to the last upgrade, but I am using Calibre to convert e-pubs and sending them direct to Kindle. The books I add from the Adobe Digital Editions come in okay and I convert them to Kindle and Send to Kindle okay.

However, I cannot get back to the Calibre Library... all that displays on opening is some of the recent epubs from ADE, but not all of them.

Is there a keyboard shortcut to display the Calibre Library?

Thanks,
Peter

@posword - on Windows the library you're using is in the window title

Click on the Library icon and look in the Quick Switch list.

There are no keyboard shortcuts for the Library icon options In Windows the nearest thing is put Choose Library in the context menu(s) and use the menu and arrow keys.

Switching between device and library

I guess my description of the problem was not accurate. The Library icon only allows me to switch or create a new Calibre library. I was having trouble switching between a connect device library and the Calibre library. Even though in Windows 10 64-bit I disconnected the device, the device listing remained in the Calibre window and the word "Device" was on the line above the first entry.

So I was wanting to switch back to the Calibre library, and it seemed I could only do this by restarting the program.

Thanks,
Peter

A connected device is not treated as A Library.
When connected, the device appears on the icon bar. You can View the device, which integrates its view with the Library. to switch, you just click the Library icon or the device Icon.

Connect to Folded, is a Device. You need to Eject it (right-click on the folder device icon). Again, you can toggle between views

BTW a Visual clue it is a device, the On Device column shows (and the device name is on the status line)
