I'm just trying to find the software that's appropriate for me, and all I'm saying is that this doesn't look like it will be it, as you describe it.

I do have some things to clean up, but I don't want to have to put every book in it's own directory, even if I could do it at the snap of my fingers. It just doesn't seem like a very clean way to organize files. 99% of the time it would be one file per directory and that just seems silly. Why have directories if they're only ever going to contain one file?

I think most software would be designed to, at a minimum, recognize two different .lit or .prc or .pdf files as being two different books.
