No issue with renaming calibre lib

Unless you rename it according to 18th c. conventions, e.g., "Herein Shall be found Many and Sundry Books, including <full list of 100k titles>", it won't be a problem. Use the ever popular "Calibre Library" or "MyLib" or anything succinct and you will be fine. As described above, all that really happens is the top level directory gets renamed.

Problem I hit at 100k books was having the Calibre Lib on a MacBook Air; consumed 75% of the drive and took 5 minutes to start up!
