Hi all. I am a bit of a newbie and have a catalogue of about 27,000 ebooks all in epub format. Most are freebies and others I have purchased or swapped.

This makes my laptop very sluggish although I use an HP Envey Core i5 with 8GB RAM and running Windows 8 (64bit).

I obviously need to scale back as Calibre isn't handling the amount of data very well so I was wondering what advanced users of Calibre would recommend in the way of PLUG-INS? I am thinking of using the FIND DUPLICATES plug-in to help remove doubles or trebles etc

Also I want to try and store my database in not only Book Title Order, but also by Book Series at the same time.

Finally a Plug-In or setup for searching for Metadata & Book cover. What would advanced users recommend in the settings please?

Many thanks
