I do use ebook-convert. But only once. To get my .prc files into .oeb. I then use the .HTML to create my own file. I cannot use Calibre to format my sources into PDF.

But I do use Calibre for one other thing: device management. I have multiple devices, and with Calibre I know which files are already on my device and if I need to update it or not.

I'm not sure i'm following you there. series type ?
A custom column can have several flavours. One is the series type. Which means it acts exactly like the series column, with a "title" part and a "number" part.
