Hi folks! So I recently got my first e-reader (K3 with 3G) and I'm still trying to figure things out re organization and ebook management. Right now I'm using both whispernet and calibre to load books on my e-reader but my current method appears to me to be a bit disorganized. I feel this way because on my PC I have my ebook collection spread between Kindle for PC software and calibre. I'm using calibre to store epub books that have been mobi converted.

So my long winded question is whether this method (keeping books separate within Kindle for PC and calibre) is the norm for other kindle users. Is it a bad idea to just load everything into calibre (ie move auto downloaded books via whispernet into calibre)? Perhaps this will cause redundant loading onto my kindle?

Thanks in advance!
