Hello,
I am using All my Books for quite a time,and I have a vast collection of e-books-around 20GB. Recently I bought a new laptop and I want to transfer my books from my old one. I'm little worried is it possible to move my books and my database,as I have added reviews and info about every single book in my program,and I'm afraid it will be all lost,when I move it.Does anyone have any idea how I can transfer my database without losing any data?

You need to save the database to some removal media, like USB Flash drive. You can safely do that using menu item Database-Backup. Then you should copy the database from this flash drive to the new laptop to the folder Documents\AllMyBooks.

thanks a lot. I'm going to try that. When I move my books' folder I have to create the same folder in the new laptop,or my shortcuts will be lost,right?

It is not necessary to create the same folder. The database file can be copied to any writeable folder, for example to Documents\AllMyBooks.
