Hello, all!

After much debating, I decided to order a PRS-505 and am very excited about it. In preparation for the arrival of my 505, I downloaded Calibre to get my library in order. I imported my library into Calibre, but am now a little confused. I'm running Ubuntu, and I had my library in my Home folder in a folder called "Reading." In my Reading folder, I had two separate folders, one for Books, and one for Comics. After importing them into Calibre, I now have a Library folder in my Home folder.

Did Calibre copy my library over to this new Library folder? If so, does that mean it's safe to delete my Reading folder, or does Calibre still need it there? In other words, I want to make sure the Calibre's library isn't dependent on my Reading folder. It seems as though my library is now taking up twice the space.

Any help would be very much appreciated!
