If you are talking about Calibre, in Windows, hitting the universal help key F1 opens the online user manual. Calibre also comes with a reasonably decent User manual inserted in your new library.
I concur with you though that most folks would be served best sticking to a primary format. However Calibre's incremental levels of increasing complexity and flexibility is a major strength. Calibre allows most users the ability to easily convert from and to most major ebook formats, manage their libraries and communicate directly with their ereaders is incredible. Add to that the increased complexity that allows advanced users to customize and manipulate things to their hearts content and you end up with a great open source creation.
