I keep my ebooks on an external 1Tb drive (I do use that for other stuff as well!). For convenience I have a ebooks folder structure where I keep the works-in-progress plus the original and (shhh, un-drm'd versions), art-work etc and the final epub where I've created one in Sigil. Then I let Calibre make its own library elsewhere on the drive. This allows me to work on new titles, correct existing titles etc., without disturbing the Calibre library until I'm ready to replace a title. Calibre is of course the interface to my sony 505.

And then there's the dvd backup. Paranoid, moi? What could possibly go wrong??
