Also you have to decide the direction of the changes. Typically I assume that you add news on the Pi, and add books and update metadata on the laptop?
This can be managed by having two calibre libraries and two buffer copies. One for news, Pi->buffer1->Laptop, and one for actual books, Laptop->buffer2->Pi.
You can sync to buffer automatically when you shut down calibre by adding steps to the script that launch calibre, after calibre has been run in the script. You can sync from the buffer by adding steps to the script before calibre is run.

That's interesting. Have you direct experience with it? Do you think this will create less conflicts than sync directly the two libraries? One problem I see in this is that at the end of the day you mantain 4 libraries instead of 2.
