I've found using separate libraries for different items is a good way to separate out my collections which turned Calibre into far more than "just" an e-book organization tool. I have Gaming books in one library, User manuals for various devices/appliances in another, Personal info (taxes, contracts, etc) in another. Probably not what was intended, and again, it takes a while to tag/sort everything but it will be worthwhile in the future when I need a particular file and can find it easier.
Welcome
I am a firm believer in making pounding metadata into the shape you want. That does take time like anything else that is hand crafted .
My manuals are tagged: Reference.User Guides ( I use hierarchical tags)
