Unfortunately not completely true. Calibre sets the component length limit using:
PATH_LIMIT = 40 if 'win32' in sys.platform else 100

Thus books with very long title/author strings added under linux/mac might not be usable on windows. The inverse is not true, because a windows path will always fit within the linux/mac limit.
