But Calibre is everything to everybody. Would it be possible for me to tailor it towards my e-reader which is a Kindle Paperwhite? What I am getting at, is would it be possible to uninstall the dozens of plug-ins that are built in to Calibre to make it interface with the many other readers and ebook formats that I have available to me but will never use? And would there be any benefits in program size and performance if I could do so?

Thank you for you help

Preferences: Plugins: (selected built type in PI): Disable
or
Preferences: Plugins: (selected USER installed type PI): Disable/remove

THAT said: I recommend DON'T do it unless a specific PI needs to be disabled because it:
1)causes issues (non-bug) with your installation.
2)You are superseding a default PI with a Enhanced, user supplied PI that calls for disabling the default one)
People forget that they disabled a PI n years ago and now their NEW device is not found/supported and we chase false trails.

IIRC Calibre only indexes available PI on start, so there is not much of a performance hit. Calculated fields will cause way bigger perf hits
