Calibre freezes when I click "Preferences"
I have been adding books all day and Calibre was working fine. Now I cannot get to preferences. It freezes up and I have to close it.
I could reinstall it, but how do I back up all my books? Thanks, LL |

You can uninstall and reinstall calibre any time you want and it won't affect your books. That said, backing up your books and metadata.db files is always a good idea. Your books are located in whatever directory you initially designated. If you are unsure click the library icon next to the view icon in the top toolbar and it will have the current location of your library. (see attached). Backing up your books is as simple as copying this folder to another location like a CD, DVD or another drive. Good Luck. |

Thank you very much for going through the trouble to put the picture on there. That was so easy for me and I backed up my files.
The freezing is gone and I rebooted my computer 5x. Maybe that is what worked. Again, I appreciate the help. LL |
