Hi,

I've imported about 40% of my kindle books into calibre. My calibre library folder is also my Dropbox folder. My Dropbox is already over half full. At this rate, it will not contain my entire library. I have about 4,300 kindle books of varying length/size.

Questions:

As I understand it, calibre creates copies of the books in the calibre library folder. Does this mean there are duplicates in my dropbox, and they are causing it to fill rapidly? How could this be fixed?

I see numerous unnamed files in the dropbox folder, along with subfolders by author names. Do the folders have to be arranged by author name?

I ask these questions b/c dropbox is constantly mentioned in the same breath as calibre, almost as if they must be used together. I do want to back up my kindle books in some manner.

Thanks in advance for your help!
