If I want to read it on something else, I send it to that device or other computer and give it whatever name I want. I don't consider a copy on another device as being a duplicate. Do you? What else is there, other than backups?

Because, like many who have been collecting books for years, I have my own directory structure devised over those same years. So I have an old 40GB disk that is nearly full, about 40 CDs and DVDs full of zips and even arcs, and about 20GB of books on the PC I use to organise my media/books/etc plus other stuff dotted around the house. I have no idea how many ebooks and comics I have. When I want to put something on my Sony I drag it into Calibre, let Calibre do its thing, maybe change the cover, maybe convert to epub. Then copy to Sony. Then delete the file I dragged into Calibre. But I keep the one Calibre created on the PC and on the Sony. So my CalibreLibrary is about 2GB of extra versions on my PC.
Not a problem.
