The whole concept that Calibre actually holds your books in its own database is a bit foreign to many first-time users.
The delete message is an example. At first, it's scary. It says it will permanently delete a book from your computer. That's true if you are using Calibre the way it was designed, but many users haven't even realized that Calibre made a copy of their book when they first encounter that message. They think the their source book will get deleted, not realizing that their source book isn't part of Calibre.

I think this is a mistake. It should be made clear, since that might be why so many people are confused and frustrated. It's never a good thing to assume anything. I don't have an ereader right now, but I hope to change that. I read my books on my computer for the time being. It doesn't seem that Calibre is really meant for those kinds of situations, or am I wrong?
