Possibly, "then delete the original downloads."

Not much longer if I'm getting one or two books. If I'm collecting a swarm of them, it adds substantial time to the process. And I could only do it on a computer with my version of Calibre installed. (My tiny low-capacity travel laptop doesn't have much at all installed.) I know I could put Calibre in Dropbox but I don't think I could run it through a browser.

So far, the benefits haven't been worth the hassles.
Putting your library on Dropbox is a time bomb waiting for your library to become corrupt. Don't do it.

If your travel laptop had a card reader, you can get a memory card to put your Calibre library on.
