With calibre, you don't *have* to store everything on it. You have the "Save to disk" option which will save only the files you want to any directory you point it to. I rarely use it because I love having calibre as my "on my computer" library manager, but for "disposable books" (books that I plan to read for the heck of it and then delete anyway) you can also select "send and delete from library", so even less space is used.
Most books are only about 500-800k and some even less, unless you are talking War & Peace or an encyclopedia, but there are management actions a person can take.
