So, let's say you have a book:

Ghosts of Ascalon by Matt Forbeck

Of this book, you have 3 copies: original (DRM), original (de-drm), 5" adapted version.

You'd make a "version" column, of the series type.

You add the first version (drm'd):

The title is filled with "Ghosts of Ascalon", the "number" field is filled with "Original (DRM)".

Add the second (de-drm'd):

The title is filled with "Ghosts of Ascalon", the "number" field is filled with "Original (de-DRM)".

And then the third would be:


The title is filled with "Ghosts of Ascalon", the "number" field is filled with "5" adapted version".


Now, if yo go to the Categories, you'll see a "Ghosts of Ascalon", with three books under it.
Right, that would get the info properly visible from inside calibre.

But I'm out of luck when just browsing the folders... I want to be able to browse my book from outside the software, if I feel like to. Just use good old copy past if I want, rather than start calibre / plug e-reader / synchronize.
Or use the library with another software (like ade, or sigil).
That the main problem there, more than the "mess". Calibre library will hardly be usable with something else.
