Don't you end up with several copies of the files on your computer that way?"
Yes, it's kind of mirrored but I like having the backup. The thing is I can take my fan fiction folder with me on my usb stick, edit the files, re-arrange them and etc...I can't take my Calibre library with me and do the same without messing up the file structure and totally fucking things up.
You have to edit files through calibre that are in your library.
I tend to go back and re-edit the HTML or add images to stories when I find out someone made a cover art for it. So for me I need the flexibility. But I'm running an archive and etc...You'll find what works for you with time and practice. :)
