Calibre is a well behaved program. It doesn't scatter itself around my hard drive or hide stuff where I can't find it. It has never once tried to take over my archive or handle books that I didn't load into it. I don't care what it does with its library, as long as it can find a book when I ask it too. In fact, I would be very unhappy if it tried to do anything with my archive. I'm delighted that when I convert a book, the new version is only in the Calibre library. If I want it someplace else, I can put it there. If I want to move Calibre someplace else, I don't have to worry about breaking the links to the source file.

I specifically wanted an ebook program that would not have the same problem. The solution to your use case is a little bit of hard drive space.
