For informational purposes as to space usage and as an addendum to gbm's post, my calibre space usage is

calibre-main:
1.36 gb
4,072 files, 2116 folders
211 azw3
1277 epub
21 mobi

calibre-fixed:
914 mb
1,744 files, 812 folders
241 azw3
412 epub
29 mobi

For keeping track of what I've finished/read and what's in the queue I have 2 separate libraries (I tried virtual libraries but didn't like how they worked). I'm like sirtel and clean up the css before I read a book and that's what's in the calibre-fixed library (fixed ones are on my ereader, unfixed ones have a big red X in the CSS Fixed column and aren't on the ereader and are awaiting my fixing them). In my early days of ebook reading I was in a frenzy downloading free books from gutenberg and elsewhere so that's why my calibre-main is so bloated.
