All I want to be able to do is find books simply and quickly, but it's a bit of a chicken and egg: I know it would make sense to sort out the organisation issue before I get too many books, but at the moment I don't really know
enough about how I'll want to use the information. I looked at the Calibre
website and got scared by the noise of information whizzing above my head,
so I'm hoping one of the many knowledgeable and helpful people here will take pity on me. Thank you!

Don't be scared of Calibre. Just download and go with the welcome wizard. It's really very easy to use. You won't have to do much complicated stuff. Try it, it's very handy to have your books organised in a private library like this. Also there's a Calibreforum on MR.
Good luck
