Dead simple really -> Calibre is to ebooks as Winamp or iTunes are to music files.
If you have an MP3 player, I'm going to assume you use one of those to manage your music collection on your computer, convert formats as required (eg. aac to mp3, etc), download and add cover art and tags (album, artist info, etc) to the files, and sync your collection and playlists with your player...
Calibre does exactly the same thing with your books and ereader - it manages your collection overall, lets you convert formats and edit the books to suit your preferences, download metadata (author info, synopsis, genre, collection info) and book covers and transfer them to your reader.
I can't imagine too many people managing extensive music collections simply from Windows Explorer. Why would you do so with ebooks?
Cheers
