The principle is to have a list of current books, and books with rare use, which do not need to take up disk space on my laptop

What do you think ?
I'd move the rarely used books to a separate library on an external drive, if you try to access the library from calibre and the drive is disconnected or powered down you'll get this:

Just connect/power up the drive and press enter.

I'd use an external hard disk on a USB 3.x port.
