I've seen a similar question by HailCardassia but I actually joined this forum because I was looking for the answer to the same question as him/her. I was about to post a reply to that thread but was advised that it was quite old and that I should start a new one. I too am concerned that Calibre was recreating my entire eBook collection in its own library. This is also the case with iTunes I believe so what I did with my audio collection was to move all my music to the iTunes Media folder which is kept under My Music/itunes/itunes media/music. I don't know if that would work with Calibre though. ie to move my entire eBooks collection into the Calibre Library Folder in order to avoid having a large number of files (many hundreds of GB as HailCardassia) duplicated.
