We are new to using Calibre to manage our audio books and ebooks. We are not sure our current folders are in the best location for the Calibre library.

Awhile back in the "Music" folder of Win7 we created two sub-folders (eBooks, AudioBooks). It seemed like the only logical place because audiobooks need playlists (Windows Media Player) so chapters play one after the other. We then created a playlist for each audiobook which created a 3rd sub-folder called "Playlists" which contains the .WPL playlist files. When using a laptop, we select the playlist for a book....and it loads all it's mp3 files (chapters).

Should we put the Calibre library in the Music Folder? What is the best approach/location for the library location?
