How do y'all think calibre can open a DOCX file in Word, a TXT file in Notepad, an RTF file in WordPad, an ODT file in LO Writer etc, etc. Via the 'location database' on the host platform… i.e the file system.
If they were in a 'calibre (metadata and content) database' calibre would have to extract them into the host platform's 'location database'… or provide a 'location database' emulator to its 'calibre database' for each platform.
Strange - people tolerate the word 'tag' being used to label disparate concepts in different contexts, but they demand that the word 'database' only be used in a very narrow sense.
