It would be better all round, if there was a short explanation as to what Calibre does, on the main Download page.

Lots of people come from the perspective of itunes or Wmplayer, that just index files and does not move them or copy them, its unusual behavair to most people.
It would not work for other files because of their size - imagine a calibre for you videos or game install files - trying to copy over hundreds of GB.

Anyway what I'm saying is - when people install Calibre they don't know the "program" works and what its doing, so they understandably get confused.

Quote:
"This program manages all your books, by copying them into its own folder structure inside a single folder you specify. The originals can be deleted after importing. This is intended behavior and is the best way to manage ebooks" See forum and/or wiki for more info."
Something like that would suit.
