Dont know if it’s true or not, but I always assumed it was because the numbers get bigger left to right. Only 12 months, 30ish days, thousands of years.

In regards to another reply, there are multiple options of dealing with duplicates in calibre. From merging to deleting them.

It’s been a while since I had to do any library setup with calibre and Im kinda confused by what you are saying with “but it duplicates files when importing in a different drive where I don’t want ebooks”

Do you have multiple libraries in calibre?

Are you using multiple library managers?

Why not just use calibres folder structure?

And also if you don’t know about it - mobileread forums has been around a long time and has a whole section on calibre where you could probably get more specific help.

I live dangerously. Ive no backups.

Linux learning curve is definitely steeper than windows - at least for ‘the basics’.

Simply because of terminal commands. Thats a lot of info to learn and maintain just to do ‘basics’.

Yeah you can search and find what you need to do, but again that’s a lot of work for someone who just wants things to work.

Windows pretty much holds your hand to get the ‘basics’ up and running.

I hate working on brakes. Even just replacing pads can be a pain in the ass nevermind when you have to do real work to 'em.

I try to do all the basic work/maintenance myself, but fuck brakes.
