I mean, even pdf document that you posted as an example, contains internet links that may or may not be available in the future. By uploading it to Archives you get to access it, and it may even help people in the future that require similar information.
Calibre uses SQLite. SQLite and cloud storage/NAS don't mix.

Also a lot of people keep copyright stuff in their library. Not uploade that to IA.
