After someone asks you to play a certain CD or show you a certain picture, and you know you have it on your computer but are unable to find it, you'll start to know what "workflow" and "organization" mean.
I have hundreds of CD's, and thousands of pictures, and want to be able to find them all within seconds if I need or want one. Same with books, as I'm starting to accumulate a lot in a short time, because I'm reading much more than last year. (I didn't really use the Kindle Touch that much in the year I had it.)
I hate a cluttered computer. I've also got many DVD's neatly sorted by title, in a nice book case. I don't throw a few hundred DVD's (or paper books, or CD's) at random in a closet or on the floor; so why would I do that with files on my computer, especially when I paid good money for them, and certainly don't want to (accidentally) lose them?

The time you spend organizing, tagging, editing I spend reading

This workflow takes me about 2, maybe 3 minutes per book, so I can add 20-30 perfectly tagged books in calibre per hour. I never bought 20 or 30 books in a day. Buying 17 books at once yesterday was a (big) exception.
Often, I rip, tag and organize multiple CD's and multiple books at the same time. Doing a few each day, which takes no more than 15-30 minutes, nets you a very organized collection after some time
