organizing ebooks and fanfic

[ratcreature]

I currently use Calibre to organize my ebooks, and I wonder if it would work out to use it to backup and keep track of the fanfic I downloaded on my tablet as well.

I do not want both mixed up, because the fanfic would totally drown out the books by an order of magnitude, and also the tags I want to use for both are very different. I've seen an option in Calibre to create virtual "libraries", but I wonder whether that is really good for keeping things separate. Has anyone experience with using Calibre for both? Or a better system?

I'm a bit wary to import hundreds of stories into my Calibre Library only to find out it would be a mess I'd have to clean up manually...

I use the virtual library, and it should work fine for what you want. It keep the files and tags totally seperate.

That's good to know. So I should also be able to import the folders where I saved the fanfic en masse so that they are all automatically tagged as fanfic and added to that new virtual library, right?

(The ebooks I have in Calibre so far I've mostly added as I downloaded them, so I've used the invidual adding, not the one where you import a folder with very many.)
