I know I can do this, but as I said it's a very inelegant way of doing it. It will waste a lot of resources, and it also means jumping port every time I want to switch libraries.

IMHO Less Libraries is better. A Virtual Library may accomplish much of what you need.

Reasons to keep separate:
Structure (columns or allowed values) differences
Content filter by audience (PG13,...)
non-Shareable content (vs public domain)
I've been using Calibre for many years now and have built up these libraries (most of which do indeed have different structures), I really don't want to dump them all in one mega-library just to do one simple thing.

Assuming I am forced to go with the multiple cli instances, as I asked above how well do the cli and gui versions play together?

Oh, I'm running on Linux by the way, if that affects anything.
