Another example is someone with Google Drive. The active library gets synced to Google Drive and then corrupted and synced back and the active library then become corrupted. |

So, why would/should I have multiple active libraries? I am just starting on Calibre so I don't know why you may want multiple active libraries. All I have is one library. Thanks. |

![]() People have multiple libraries for different reasons. Some manage libraries for their family members and each member has their own library; some want to keep fiction and nonfiction apart; some want to keep PDF and regular ebooks apart; some want to have a separate library for editing, while others do this in their main library. I have one main library and a relatively small subset of this library in a separate physical library, which I use to manage my Kobo readers. I do it this way because I like to have my authors as Last Name, First Name, but my Kobos want them as First Name Last Name; there are also a few other reasons (it's easier to manage my ereaders with a smaller number of books in the library), so I do it this way. I could do it also with metadata plugboards and virtual libraries, but I just like keeping one smaller separate physical library for connecting to my Kobos better.
