Would love to know how to print off a list of my books in Calibre, so that I don't download the same title twice

Any help would be greatly appriciated

I have the same issue. This is not perfect but it's a start. See http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/5-ways-...ts-in-windows/ and scroll down to "Karen's Power Tool". This lets you print or save a list of contents of directories to a file.
All my Calibre books are in various directories under a head directory called "Calibre Library". Using Karen's Power tool you can make a filter to list all files or selected files under a directory. I download books usually as epub format. I convert them to MOBI for my kindle but anyway; in "Karen's", under the "Save to Disk" tab, File filter, select "Edit". Make a filter to look for only, say, epub books called "epub files only". Choose Done and you're back to the main Karen screen. You can choose the other options you want but for this, you really only want under "Sv Options" in the middle, File Info Only and under File Info on the right "File Name".
Go to the dir where you saved it, right click on it, "open with" and choose Excel & bingo.
Sounds convoluted but not too bad. I would REALLY like to see the print option as a feature. This is my first post so please forgive the long windedness
