There's nothing "wrong" with doing it your way if it works for you. There are many ways to use calibre and you should do what works for you , as long as you know what you are giving up. Kiwidude knows calibre inside and out, and he uses multiple libraries. He has a starting library for incoming books that need work and a finished "perfect" library. I think he splits up the author he's working on from both and puts that author into another temporary working library. He likes the faster speed of a smaller library and he likes knowing that his final library is as perfect as he can get it.
However, there are many things you can't do when your books are broken up into multiple libraries, so it's not a good starting point for new users who haven't yet learned much about calibre's tags and saved searches.
