It's a hassle to select different books by different authors, but Calibre needn't be running- and no iTunes copies are made (that I can tell).
Should I revert to iBook, in order to have all these "copy to iTunes" problems?  |
Wouldn't matter. Sounds like you are really not using Calibre in your process of putting books on your iDevice. You just happen to be using the same copy of the book on your disk that Calibre uses. You end up with the same situation that Calibre USED to end up with, and have the same sort of potential issues that Kovid described (if you make certain changes to the book in Calibre, you will break your link in iTunes.)
if you actually used Calibre to put the book on your device, you'd probably want Calibre to be able to do so no matter where it keeps it's library, and these changes enable Calibre to do it even if your library goes off to live in the cloud somewhere.
