Calibre Portable for Windows to Calibre for Linux
I have my Calibre library on an external drive using Calibre Portable latest version (v7.13). Until now I am a Windows user but soon to be Linux user. Calibre Portable had been a great way to access my library from any Windows OS running computer.
How can I transport my Calibre Library from Calibre Portable for Windows to Calibre for Linux with all the books (450+), settings and preferences, News Recipe Schedules. In short, I want to have my Calibre configured on Linux as it is on my Windows Calibre Portable. What is the easiest and fastest way? Do I have to manually configure all the preferences again and manually copy paste the library folder to the linux? Or is there any other easier and faster way. ![]() |

So instead of running calibre-portable.exe, run calibre.exe, while setting the CALIBRE_CONFIG_DIRECTORY environmnet variable to point to the portable config directory and then use the export tool.
