So I see some appeal in moving things out of the Calibre ‘library’ format. This setup should make our lives easier, not more complex! But if I leave them where they are, on the computer which is equipped with more robust specs to handle a library as big as mine, it means I won’t be able to manage things as easily on the go. I would have to back them up manually, and that is a hassle. Of course, my first question was what would happen to my e-books? If I take them out of Dropbox and put them onto my ‘own’ computer, they wouldn’t be remotely backed up to the Cloud. We would get me a netbook-sized mini laptop and I could access my stuff via the Cloud. What he’d like to do is set it up as some sort of family media hub-he can do his basic computing tasks on it, and it can store the iTunes library, photos and so on. So he’s thinking of taking over the HP laptop I have, which is almost new, but has proved a bit too bulky and cumbersome for me. He has been making do on my ancient Macbook since his needs are minimal. I was thinking about this again as the Beloved has been pondering a new computer purchase. For example, I no longer plug any devices into the computer-I side-load books onto my Kindle-equipped devices via the Cloud. But many of the functions which first drew me to Calibre have become a tad obsolete as the Cloud-based infrastructure has developed. I use it often to organize and categorize my books. I have been a long-time fan of the Calibre e-book library software.
