What exactly does "Add Books" ?

Hi,
When I read the guide included with calibre, I can read that :
Quote:
Click the 'Add books' button on the top tool bar, then select the e-books you would like calibre to import. When calibre imports your e-books it makes a copy of the book, storing it in the storage location you specified during initial setup.
Until now - before installing calibre - I have had an orginized directory tree with many pdf and chm. If I use the "Add Books" fonction, will it actually make a copy in another place ("the storage location you specified") ? If I choose my directory root as calibre bookshelf, am I going to get a mess ?
I wouldn't like that it change my directory tree not the place where my books are, nor have two or more copies of my books.
So my question is : how does "Add books" works exactly ?
My wish would be it keeps every book at the place they are and put their path in the database.
