Just like in iTunes, you can ask iTunes not to touch your files (because you have already organized them in your own way). But in Calibre, No!
So why making yet another copy and zillions directories and meta files? Just because harddisk is dirt cheap. lol
So why can't we have our own file hierarchy? Get over it, this is my program.
Fine. That's why I stick with the librarything, lol, I won't read a book twice anyway.

It seems that the Calibre techies have convinced their (many) followers that the limitations of the Calibre approach ( the file system is the database ) are actually advantages, and that anyone who points out that a database is actually a better database than a filesystem is an ignorant "Luddite".
Sigh indeed.
