Yep. A major factor in my giving up. Maintenance would have been one thing; digging out was a task too far.

But I didn't mind. Without a properly curated library I'd have no idea which books I already have and which I don't, as I buy from several different places, and I would have bought many duplicates over the years.
I wouldn’t say it’s been many, but it’s happened. Mostly because I didn’t think to check; it wasn’t so much that I didn’t have a Calibre library, as that I was forgetful and lazy.
