I use Calibre and I have a Libre. But I don't exactly use them together. I use Calibre to convert my books to my preferred format, and to update my metadata. Then I just copy the book files manually to the SD card on my Libre. This can be done by plugging the Libre into the computer, or by using an SD card reader.
I created a folder structure on my SD card, something like:
Fiction/Suspense/Deaver, Jeffery (and all my Deaver books are dropped into this folder).
Fiction/Classics/Dickens, Charles
Non-Fiction/Philosophy/Plato
I ignore the folders created by Calibre, but leave the book file names as Calibre creates them, which is "The Blue Nowhere - Jeffery Deaver".
Once the files are on my SD card, I delete the files and folder created by Calibre. I back up my collection by copying the contents of the SD card, so that my folder structure is maintained.
But you can also copy the files onto your Libre, as well as save the all the files and folders that Calibre creates for it's database - if you would like to have a better library on your PC, with all the metadata available.
