Where Does Bookworm Store Settings and Library?
Where the Bookworm ebook reader keeps settings and library data.
Last updated
Bookworm keeps app settings in its XDG config folder while books themselves stay wherever you shelved them on disk. The library view records paths rather than copying files.
Confirm the exact folder name by listing ~/.config on your install, since elementaryOS era packaging renamed vendors across releases. Back up settings plus the book folders together for full restores.
Where Bookworm stores this, by platform
~/.config/com.github.babluboy.bookworm/
App settings home; books stay in your own folders by path reference. Verify the exact vendor folder name by listing ~/.config. Back up settings with the book tree.
