What's the point in not letting Calibre handle the location of the books? I never said it was the best way to do things, I only said it was possible (as that was the original question, wasn't it?)
But, I don't really agree with your statement that writing it down in Excel would achieve the same thing. Once I have my lounge ready, I'll be adding all my paper books to Calibre as well. I already have my audible books in there too. It can still be a handy tool to keep track of your books. Why else is there an option for entering empty books?
