Perhaps you would let me know how you handle that?

I think I already answered this.
All of my books have this format:
Anja Jonuleit/Anja Jonuleit - Novemberasche - Kriminalroman (2010)[9783423405638].epub
If it's a series:
Gav Thorpe - [Time of Legends - The Sundering #1] - Malekith (2008) [9788448038373].epub
so I can just go, as stated "cd library ; find . -name "Time of Legends*epub" | parallel cp -rv {} /mnt/bookreader.
I don't care if it's on my bookreader already or not. Why would I?
I can search by any field, ISBN, author, series.
Once you have very many books, I personally have just found it's easier to deal with them that way than wait for calibre.
Of course, small libraries will load calibre quickly but I find command line operations to be faster in general.
