The biggest mistake I often see people new to calibre make is to designate the folder they are presently using for their books as the one for calibre's library then wail about how calibre messed up their library.

Yes, I did that when I first installed it, and I've learned my lesson

I keep my original files just in case I ever want to switch from calibre because I can find the books easily and the file name contains most of the metadata needed (it's also called paranoia).

This is exactly what I want to do. I'm quite happy to let Calibre have its own untouchable 'black box' of files, but I want to keep a separate back-up copy of everything, and I'm just trying to decide what the best format is for that. Alphabetising by Lastname is pretty much the internationally recognised way of doing things, so I think I may just go that way and alter the import options in Calibre so it doesn't get confused.
Thanks for the reply!
