How to ask for something:

1. Ask politely.
2. Emphasize how your request compliments the needs of others.
3. Say as much as needs to be said, but no more.

Personally, I would love to organize books by folders. Personally, I would love to avoid tools like calibre to get the job done. On the other hand, I am not going to phrase a wish as a demand because I recognize that other people have other priorities and I feel that it is more appropriate to treat people respectfully.
