Here's the problem with worldwalker's explanation as to why Calibre is good for you, shut up and take the medicine. Not all of us has 303 books, one copy, all in the same format, of each book. I have over 300K eBooks, in a variety of formats, pretty much every format that an eBook was ever released in. I use Calibre to convert one eBook format to another eBook format. I keep all of my books in a file called Book Pool, in folders by authors name, first name first. I put any book that I get, in any format, written by Larry Niven in the Larry Niven folder. If it is written by Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle, I still put it in The Larry Niven folder, because I don't read Pournelle. I might have fifty copies of a book like Storm Front by Jim Butcher in the Jim Butcher folder, and if I want to read it and put it on my Kindle, I will find, usually the latest copy, convert it, and put it on my Kindle. If it has artifacts, I will try another copy to put on my Kindle. I have not looked at every book in my book pool folder, I have no idea which ones in there are 5.0v and which aren't. I don't ever expect to know unless I want to read it. I realize my situation is not like most people, who have a few hundred books and it isn't a issue for them to review them and keep them in a Calibre library. But it doesn't work for me.
