Can Calibre manage more than one e-reader?

As suject says...will I be able to manage both Kindle and Nook on one install of Calibre. I do not want to convert either type if I don't have to.

Calibre could care less on how many devices you use with it AS LONG AS you only connect ONE at a time.
Calibre will offer to convert your content to a format that the device accepts if the format book does not already have the format. (This can add a whole lot of time if the book is complex. I suggest doing the convert in advance, so it will be ready to transfer) Simple Novels Convert on the fly then transfer with very litte delay.

I can not decide on a single format so I was wondering if the Nook ant Kindle books could exist together in a Calibre library without convertung all my books to one type.
Ultimately I want to save up for a Kobo Aura one and convert all my books to epub to read on the Aura One only.
In the meantime I enjoy reading on BOTH my Nook Glow 3 and my Kindle Paperwhite. I get books which ever service has the cheaper version.

If the format does not exist, The new format will be added to the same book. Just look to the right side of the MDE. You could have 1 of every format possible.
Kindles want AZW* or Mobi. Your Nook want EPUB
Just one format will probably never happen if you use multiple brands
