Here’s a quick primer:Īdd books from a single directory: Opens a dialog box. If you’re going to make a mess anywhere in the process of using Calibre it’s right here-we speak from experience. You can add books in one of several ways. For the purposes of this tutorial we downloaded some free ebooks from around the web and placed them, temporarily, in the /Ebook Library/temp/ folder. Grab some free books online or some books you’ve already collected. Now it’s time to start adding books to Calibre. After configuring your email service, click finish. If you have a device that supports such a service we recommend you configure it now. In the third step you can configure Calibre to email documents to your ebook reader, such as to your Kindle’s email address. If you do use one select the appropriate device such as Amazon/Kindle. If you don’t use one go ahead and leave it as Generic/Generic e-ink device. In the second step you tell Calibre what ebook reader you use. In our case we’re pointing Calibre at /Ebook Library/Ebooks/. We’re going to import your old ebooks into Calibre and let Calibre manage the directory structure. Make sure to create a new folder for your new Calibre library.
When you run Calibre for the first time it will prompt you to select the language you want to use and the location of your library. Calibre stores all information (meta data and covers) in each unique book directory. If you’re not using the portable version don’t stress about not putting everything together. Thus we can easily backup the entire library, management app and all, at once.
