True. That's probably why I changed how I manage my books. I used to have all of the books on my ereader and one calibre library.
Now I only have the books I plan to read on the ereader and a calibre library for that and another calibre library for books that I've finished or downloaded from some free site but don't plan on reading any time soon. I've had to correct the habit of downloading many free ebooks from an author I haven't read yet and then were cluttering up that unread/in progress library, and my ereader, and have moved them to the finished library. I have a finished column that I change from null to yes when I've finished or abandoned the book, then I use the copy to library with delete after copy to move it to the finished library. I tried using virtual libraries for this but calibre doesn't remember the virtual library I was in when you quit it and I'd get confused when I next started it. And it's trivial to switch between libraries although I seldom switch to the finished one.
