Does this .opf file need to be maintain in the folder with the book or can it be discarded since the conversion is finished?

Well, since you are just killing time ... one of the things I like to do in Calibre is to change the book name so that I can find out the correct order to read the books. I come up with a code for a series and then rename the series. So for Honor Harrington, my code is HH and "On Basilisk Station" becomes "HH 1: On Basilisk Station". Calibre has a built-in series capability, but it doesn't automatically transfer over to the reading software. By renaming them I can easily group/find the set of books and the reading order. It's a bit of a pain to do the first time, but if you've got three weeks to kill, why not?
