I have 2,486 files (books) in 44 folders. The first level of folder is for genre. Within each genre I have alphabetic folders, "ABC", "DEF", etc.

My files (books) are named "last, first#title" (e.g. "Austen, Jane#Pride and Prejudice.txt", and stored in the alphabetic folder for the first letter of the author's name.

I use Calibre to convert files, but not to manage my books. I keep a copy of the books on my hard drive and use Sync Toy to sync the hard drive and my SD card.

To keep track of the books, I have a table for each genre with Author, Title, Summary, etc. I edit the table with Word and save it as a Word docx and also make a copy as a PDF. I keep both versions of the table in the genre folder, so both are copied to my SD card. Jetbook ignores the docx file, but I can read the PDF version with the Jetbook.
