The only question that remains is then, how can I remove Calibre from my Mac so that everything will be restored to initial settings in Calibre without me losing my library... How much work is it to reload the whole library? Can I just drop them in and everything will by in place or will I have to retag everything and download covers etc (I am planning to just import the epubs and not the Calibre metadata)... How can I reset my Kindle so that all Calibre data on there will be gone? And finally, why does it take over an hour until Calibre has initially set up metadata files on my Kindle (on first connection after deleting the present metadata file)? Is it advisable to begin with a totally empty Kindle and redownload my Amazon books afterwards? Could a jailbreak have ANY impact on this behavior?
Locate the 'Calibre Configuration Directory' (Preferences: Micellaneous (near the bottom): Click the button' Make a Note of the folder: DO Nothing else at this time. Exit Calibre

Uninstall Calibre normally.
Now: Delete the folder you noted above.
DO NOT delete your Library folder (the one wit books and metadata.db)

You now have a clean (settings) slate tor a fresh install
