I point out that I have books, and news.
Instead of clicking on News I'm told to use tags.
Instead of clicking on Books, I'm told to use something else again.
I may be the only one that thinks this is confusing on this forum but it frustrates me, hence the thread title.

We are trying to educate you:
Example:
You have 'e-book type files', not News, books, Magazines, Pictures...
Calibre has no way to know what is
in (Calibre only knows file format) those files unless they are tagged with content
type
Tags work lots better than a simple folder hierarchy when more that one category applies.
Think about The Dead Tree book(s) for the the Movies in the Narnia series:
Do I
shelve the book under 'recent movies', Fantasy,...
You only have 1 book to shelve. Libraries used 'card catalogs' with as many cards as needed, to direct you to a single 'shelf'. Those cards are 'tags'
