Welcome to MR!

Aaarg - spelling.

Ok, I've read some Calibre FAQ's and I'm slightly less ignorant.
For the price, it's hard to complain - yet bot Calibre and iTunes have a philosophy I don't share. Namely, putting copies in specific locations.
In fact, iTunes is better in this regard (gasp) in that, when you add a folder to the library, importing the actual files is an OPTION. I mention this because my original books are filed by topic. (A fellow named Dewey had a similar system.)
Under my system, Java programming books are grouped together. Same with the sci-fi novels of Heinlein and Asimov, or the modern comedy of Terry Pratchett and Douglas Adams. Creatings groups like this is not even an option in Calibre itself, let alone filing the books in this manner. It's author, or find another program.
You want a big database of book data? Fine. You want to keep
Converted copies somewhere? That's good too. I'll just softly mention the product I think does it
right - or better than iTunes, anyway:
Media Monkey.
It only handles audio, but it handles it very well.
