My bigest issue will almost all the new reader and especally the Sonys, Kindles, and Nooks is the way they orignize the librarys. I like being able to just drag and drop the books I want to read on an SD card and go. I have already spent a lot of time sorting my extreamly large library into folders based on author, subject, and series. It also makes it a lot easier for me to find what I'm looking for. Calabre is nice but I find it slow and a pain in the buttocks and don't like the fact that it takes up more and more disk space as it copies files into new folders.

I thought very similar, when I first tried calibre. I even dismissed it for a while.
But you can set calibre to load the files onto your reader exactly the way you want it to (folder structure), plus: if you ever tried a reader, which also presents you collections (equvalent to calibre tags), you probably will never want to miss this feature again. Folders are nice, but collections give you so many more possibilities.
I usually download a book onto the desktop, import it and delete it from desktop right away.
