Thanks for the tip. I know that I'll use it! I've been a holdout on using Calibre. I think that the reason is that I know that there will be a lot of work (=time) involved in getting all of the ebooks, especially, and audiobooks that I have now converted, if necessary, and into the database. But I know that the longer that I put it off, the worse it will be . . . .
One stopgap measure that I try to use regularly is to do a search of my email for the title. Anytime that I buy an audiobook or ebook I get a confirmation or invoice or something in my email that provides a record of the purchase. The search terms are long enough and specific enough that I don't get many hits at all, so it's not all that hard to find out if I've purchased the item.
