need help organizing!
Hello, I've been using Calibre for awhile but probably have only used the basic features. I want to learn more about it now as my book collection is expanding.
I bought a Kindle last year and am enjoying reading e-books now as opposed to paper books. Now that my library is getting really big I am confused on how to keep things organized. I read that Calibre makes a copy when I add the book, Does this mean I can throw out the old copy? I don't want to lose my books and ideally want a way to organize my collection and make back ups to an external hard drive. I tried using the search function and wasn't successful in finding my way. Is there a thread that covers this well that anyone could direct me to? I also want to separate my books and am wondering about using the libraries function. I thought maybe create a cookbook library? Maybe one for fiction and one for non-fiction? Can I move books from one library to another without deleting and re-entering them? |

Can I add all my books to Calibre and then just back up the Calibre folder?
