The best thing to do is to treat Calibre as a black box. It has a database that keeps track of your books, along with tags and the ability to search on almost any criteria. You can even export your books to disk so you can do anything you want. The books are kept in directories so even if the database gets hosed, the books are still there.


my own $0.02.

Treat Calibre like a Mail order Catalog Warehouse.
You place your order at the front desk and the goods are delivered according to the request (USB device, card slot, sent-as-message). You don't need to know where in the universe, the inventory was kept.

The Save preference template lets you do it (mostly), your way.
