Hmmm... is there a benefit or penalty to putting books outside of the /database/ heirarchy?

And, since you've weighed into this discussion, Kovid, is there a convenient way to use Calibre to move books onto and off of the Sony Reader without storing them in the Calibre database? My thought is that I only need to have books in the database when I'm *working* on them as in creating books or converting books from another format. I'm concerned about disk storage requirements -- storing books on removable media (external USB drive) rather than my primary hard drive on this laptop. I don't want to configure Calibre to use the database from another drive, so I have to pay attention to its size so that I don't run out of space on my laptop's drive.
