Many thanks!
I am one of the hardcore PocketBook users and I never heard that PocketBook supplies an application for PC that will let you:
- manage thousands of books,
- sort them any way imaginable,
- convert from almost any format to almost any format known to a man,
- export books to directories of great complexity using Regular expressions to parse book metadata,
- automatically download covers for books from the net
- automatically gather news from hundred of sources and format them for your device (using so-called recipes).

PocketBook devices do support directories, Favourites virtual folder, but to prepare content to load up into those directories I use Calibre. For a long time I was using files in all kinds of directories, but I grew tired of the fact that when I look for a book I have to look in many places.
