Yes, Calibre uses it's own database, with an accompanying folderstructure which holds the content.

Why should you?

Just use Calibre, and structurize the books in it. Merge double books, and, if wanted, delete the double formats.

I'd also like to be able to add any acquired eBooks to the storage on the external, without duplicates.

And, if the device is stolen, or damaged or... loose your content? I think you should see Calibre as a central database. From there you fill your devices with whatever content you like. Yes, you do have at least double copies, but you also have a more redundant storage system.
