Hey!

I have a dilemma - at the time I have three libraries:
- popular books (calibre local + Dropbox)
- all epubs (calibre local + Dropbox)
- all pdfs (on NAS not in calibre)

I want to add all pdf's in to separate library in calibre. I can't store them on Dropbox, due to size - 250GB.

I found that there is a way separate books from database, but the question is what will happen with other two libraries? Will I be able to switch between them easily from calibre GUI? or this environment variable will redirect all three libraries to different location, what is definitely not my intention.

Thank you for ideas, challenges and questions in advance.
