Actually, I was surprised that Calibre doesn't store information about where each edition of a book is kept. So that you could, for example, ask calibre for a list of the books on each device you own without having to plug in the devices in turn.
If it did then that would be the natural place to keep this data - i.e a table with device-file associations - but since it doesn't then, yeah, this might be more work than it's worth.
Thankfully, I'm still at early stages with my shiny new kindle, so it's not *too* much trouble to experiment with different ways of organising the books and then just level the whole thing and rebuild the entire kindle content in my finally-decided form at the end.
In fact, that's my current approach, and will remain doable right up until the point that I have files in multiple collections (as that's one thing it's apparently not possible to automate as yet).
