It is possible to change Library from GitBook Editor:

  • move whole GitBook folder from C:\Users\USERNAME\GitBook to J:\GitBook
  • launch GuiBook Editor, change library path from menu->Change Library Path, you need to choice Library full path like:
    J:\GitBook\Library
  • you will see all books available in GitBook Editor now, which are from J:\GitBook
  • C:\Users\USERNAME\GitBook recreated again, there is Library but it is empty, from setting.json you will see Library pointing to customized place:
...,"library":"J:\\GitBook\\Library",...
