As to the folders there are reasons for separating work PDF's from the main reading group for example. With Calibre we are told it can do a better job sorting if it handles the organization. Apologies if I am misrepresenting Calibre. This is probably what the other readers would say. My answer to it would be keep the sort organization within the folder. Each time we create a folder let it standalone. Then it won't break the sort algorithms because it won't be done across folders. Then both groups are happy. Calibre can still do its work and if we choose to add additional organization to the bookshelf then we are allowed this added benefit.
Of course my biggest gripe is with reader software that is so arrogant to not allow the user to set the location of the files if we so choose.

I'm no Calibre expert, quite the contrary, but you can easily "set the
directory" and "create folders". There is a downarrow next to the
"Preferences" tab that gives you the option to re-run the startup wizard
and set your own directory for the Calibre Library. The folders in the library
are based on the Author field of the metadata, if you enter a folder title
that you want for the author field that is the folder that the book will be
put into, in the Calibre Library directory. There are probably other ways to
do it, I am just a novice when it comes to Calibre.
