I have books that I need to edit for specific device. For example, for a programming book that uses color syntax highlighting which does not show up well on the kindle, I edit to remove all the colors. But I want to keep the original version too. How do you handle keeping various versions of the same book and tracking which version is which. Right now, I save the original in a separate directory outside of the calibre library, but this kind of defeats the purpose of having calibre.
