Note that most of the entries are empty. They have no formats associated with them.

Is Calibre appropriate for managing this amount of metadata, doing searches, meta-data updates, etc.?
Where are you storing the 'library'?

Even though you have no ebook-format files (EPUB, PDF etc), when you add books calibre will still be creating author and title folders.
