I recently discovered the option to "switch libraries" when I was having a strange issue with an empty library in an old location. I have since been wondering if it would be possible to divide my library into a "Fiction" library and a "Non-fiction" library to make it easier to manage.
If I did that, would I need to keep a main library with all of the books? Right now I keep my "Calibre Library" in my dropbox folder for offsite backup. Would I just make a "Calibre Library - Fiction" folder and "Calibre Library - Non-fiction" folder in the dropbox folder and copy the appropriate books to each so that I can use the Calibre icon choice to switch between them?
I have accumulated a ton of free books from Amazon and BN etc., and would love to manage them more easily without doing a lot of meta tag editing right now. I feel like if I could at least have them sorted by fiction and non-fiction it would be much easier to sort and manage.
I have watched the videos and appreciate the advice about using meta tags to search for different types of books. I have so many unfamiliar titles in so many different genres and categories that I don't even know if I'll like, that I would rather just sort them into two additional libraries and then use tags or an additional genre column to sort them further later on.
Thanks in advance for any advice!
