Ok, here's why I need to access my pdfs separately from Calibre. Sometimes, I'm going to make a pdf of a chapter within a book, and I want to just evoke pdftk from Ubuntu terminal and it's harder (and maybe impossible) to try to use the command line with the way calibre stores my books (because it creates a lot of subfolders for each pdf and also both the folder name and the book name have blanks which prevent easy commands to be written ---perhaps there is a way to make calibre shorten those names at least???).
The other thing is, I want to MARK my books. I'm thinking of using Xournal for this. When I'm done marking a book, I might export to pdf from Xournal. This would change the file and might interfere with Calibre. Why am I supposed to try to work everything around how Calibre organizes my files? I just want Calibre to be organized around my files instead.
But yes, I understand... And I will either not use Calibre, or just keep Calibre separate and original copies of books separate for the above tasks, but that seems unnecessary to me. I want one ring to rule them all.
