Preflight

This package relies on esqlite to execute sqlite3 queries

This package assumes Calibre 4+ and that your library file location is defined in global.py.json

If your Calibre library is not in the default location, calibre--find-library-filepath will try to find it; alternatively, set calibre-root-dir explicitly:

(setq calibre-root-dir (expand-file-name "~/Calibre Library"))

if somehow your calibre library is not metadata.db, override the full db path directly:

(setq calibre-db (concat calibre-root-dir "/metadata.db"))
