Our physical books are seperated for the same reason that I'd like our ebooks to be seperated, because looking through my books, or her's, is needlessly complicated if they're all tossed into one big pile.

Calibre is awesome and would be even more so if I could maintain seperate libraries.
Do you share an email address? Do you share browser favorites? Desktop backgrounds? Downloaded internet pr0n?

Why don't you just set up separate user accounts on the computer. Just don't passwort protect them so wifey can then call you and say "here, install/convert/fix this book"

That's why I'm wondering ... if there is a NEED to separate stuff for two people, why not do it properly with user accounts instead of jumping through hoops with individual programs.
