When you do this, you'll want to create a .calibre directory as the regex you should use for this blocks .directories from being scanned.

(As an aside, I don't plan on keeping the calibre library itself on the Kobo. The main library will live on my desktop—I only need access to the calibre program in case I want to add new books while I'm away from home.)
If you have your library on your laptop, you might as well have Calibre there as well. It's going to be a lot slower to run Calibre from a Kobo.
