Yes, I suppose I do.

Oh yes! You're going through the same process I went through. I can clear4ly remember first being confused about the "Library". I thought it wanted to know where I kept my source books.
Oh good, so I'm not going crazy.

Oh yes, your comments make sense to me. Eventually, you may switch to the viewpoint that I've described - where you think of your books as safely in Calibre's database and available whenever and wherever you want them, with whatever name or folder structure you want them in .... or maybe not.
Who knows - anything's possible. Though one book, one folder still seems wasteful to me. I thought that was the one thing that couldn't be changed; I didn't know I could change it into a folder structure I want. What exactly does that mean?

Never mind, you don't have to answer now, I have to start grading or I'll have another sleepless night on my hands. I'll come back later and check the comments.
