Hi folks,

Thanks for the answers. I understand Calibre better now and will probably play with it more. It looks like for academic pdfs that I use to assign readings for my courses, etc., (these, I don't necessarily put on my reader, but sometimes will) I can keep them out of calibre. An academic reference manager seems more proper for these (bibus, referencer, etc.). For all the other books I'm thinking of primarily reading on my Reader, then calibre sounds good.

I still do think that with a 120 GB HDD, I would rather not have duplicate files, but oh well...

Ubuntu is amazing, I recently switched from Vista and my productivity doubled. I can't recommend it enough. I beg you Windows users, please give Ubuntu or another Linux distro a try if you haven't. You don't know what you're missing. And you don't need to let Windows go. You can either dual-boot or run Windows inside Ubuntu (e.g., using Virtualbox). Or you can use many Windows programs under Ubuntu using WINE.

Cheers!!!
