Does Calibre slow down when having a big library - I mean thousands of books?
How about the handling of big pdf files? I have scanned all of my physical books. Some of the files are BIG - 100-200MB.

Thank you.

Every book record in Calibre uses nearly the same space (comments type metadata is the size variable). Any format. Calibre (the DB) cares less. You just need disc space ( on a single, Logical drive) for the format.
I used 'Logical', because you could have a Spanned or striped disk Array (That would be one huge collection )
