Searching / sorting is impossible with a flat directory layout like what Calibre uses. If it didn't make a copy and instead used a more reasonable method like referencing the existing files you could just copy the directory tree, drop them down on the new machine at work and you'd be good to go. Instead you have to maintain 2 parallel databases, one in calibre and one in your proprietary format.

What I do is just install Calibre on a flash drive (you can also use an external drive)... You can just copy the calibre directory into the flash drive after making changes and it will be good to go when you get to work. That is what I do.
