I for one am extremely pleased that Calibre takes and uses its own copy for its library.
I save the ebooks I obtain in a folder structure based on the source of the book. This makes a lot of sense to me when downloading - note it has no relevance to the file type, author, title or genre - as if I ever have an issue I may need to go back to the original source and either raise a query or download the book again (or an update).
I then add the books into Calibre from those folders, converting to ePub if necessary. This means that I have one folder structure containing the pristine original downloads and the Calibre library containing just ePub, with whatever changes to the metadata I choose to make. If I make an error using Calibre I can easily go back to the original and add it again.
And the key benefit - Calibre sorts out ordering my library by author, title, genre, rating, etc., for me. All I have to think about when downloading my book is "which site am I getting this from?"
