How do you get Nemo to calculate an entire folder's worth of subfolders and filter by file type, as it appears you've done?


I'm guessing there's somethingc more than just the ebook files (cbz/epub/htm/kfx) and the images. Maybe the "supporting structure" (let's call it the scaffolding) of Calibre is taking up a humongous amount of space.
Use nemo open the calibre library folder--select all--right click--properties; will give you the total number of items in the library and the total size of the library.

With the calibre library folder open use search for *.epub, etc, etc, will find all the epubs in the calibre library folder then use select all--right click--properties;will give you the total count of epub, etc, etc, plus the total size. Repeat until all ebook types have been checked.
