For me, I don't have any other ebook organization software on my computer so all my books go into Calibre. There may very well be other software that handles all the formats in one place.

I use Calibre with plug-ins to strip the DRM on all the books I buy so that I can convert them to multiple formats. I also share books among my grown children so the DRM has to go to enable it to be put on multiple devices.

I download the metadata for all my books because I get so many freebies I could never remember what they were all about. I have a gazillion books now so it's nice to be able to bring up a list of a specific genre that I may be in the mood for just to see what I have.

Also, when I plug a reader into my computer, Calibre recognizes which one it is and puts check marks beside all the books that are already on there. I like that feature since I load up my daughters' ereaders too.

If you have any other questions about it, feel free to ask. I'm sure I'm leaving something out as my memory is horrid.
