It is true that in Calibre Componion you can set the folder into which certain file types should be copied.
Amazon books are somewhere else than fb2 or epub, for exampleI have never claimed such nonsense.
My statement was that it is not necessary and that it makes a big difference.You draw conclusions regarding the use of applications that prove you have no idea (about them).
Yes, you are correct that I do not use Calibre Companion. But, I use enough other ereading related applications, that the idea of opening an epub with Adobe DRM in an application that didn't download it, or where ADE was not used to add the book, did not seem likely. But, I stand corrected.

As to my statement of you not using a computer for ebook related actions, it was reasonable. You have consistently in this thread pointed out that you only have your ebooks on the device that they are authorised for. And you have consistently shutdown, and basically ridiculed, anyone who said they used a computer for something ebook related. So, why on earth would we think you were putting your DRM protected books a PC where you may not be allowed to read them.
